Coffee Tasting All Over America

How do coffee buyers decide which coffees they will carry? They taste them. In this video you can get an inside look at this process.

We put over 60 fresh-crop lots of Ethiopian coffees, each with a different flavor profile, in front of coffee buyers all over the United States this past spring. I posted about this project in the spring, here, here, and here. This video explains the outcome.

Good stuff, thanks for posting.

ps This video makes me wonder how I can find a job where drinking coffee is part of my job description...

Thanks, Iris. I'm glad you like it.

As for that coffee - drinking job, it may not be what you had in mind, but there's always being a barista! I learned so much that I use every day now from back in my days of making lattes all day.
