Tea & Coffee 12/04 - Gourmet Robustas: The Awakening of Specialty Coffees

  „As the market grew, it attracted a lot of greed, and many coffees, which would barely pass the exchange or sell without a discount are now offered as “gourmet,” as long as they include the magic word “Arabica.” This makes no sense and it drives the roaster towards using lower qualities.
