And then you sometimes make the most out of it in terms of what you try to collect in information but also in photos you take. And then you represent like, you know, you were there and coffee people slip into this thing and [are] saying: “oh we work with this station” and it's like you visited 30 minutes you know, you buy their coffee that's not working with somebody.</p><p>And I don't want to take that too far critically but there's a lot of work in coffee and I do a lot of work. But it's not the work in actually producing coffee so when you say you work with a station or a farm they do a lot of work and I think it really trivializes it to use the word ‘work’.</p><p>I select lots and buy coffee from someone and it's important that they have a buyer but that doesn't need to be inflated to make it seem like you have a big project with them or you have a communication. You have a business relationship and I think that's accurate to say but ‘work’ is another thing. And I'm sure in one of these recordings I'm going to say ‘work’ but it'll stand out to me you know. I'm trying not to do that, I'm also trying not to say that I source coffee.</p><p>I just realized what I was thinking about something else, like sourcing, that kind of many interactions, that kind of connect with a particular coffee producer, like go back and forth, figure out how you're going to deliver coffee, coordinate it, get the coffee milled, select which lots and grades, do troubleshooting on quality; those are ‘the work’ of sourcing. And you just pretty much have to be in the country to do that work, you have to be there for the full season.</p><p>I would say that's the minimum, the qualifying bar to say: “yeah we source coffee”. I didn't go find these coffees like they exist and I don't do a lot of that back and forth and I'm not here for a long period of time. So ‘source’ is even an overreach in representing what my actual work is. So I decided that I'm a coffee selector. What I do is: people who actually do all the ‘work’ put options in front of me and I basically select which ones I want and which ones I think are good and which ones don't.</p><p>And that feels pretty accurate. </p><p>It's like [with] a lot of things, it's kind of diminishing in the role that I really actually play, but it feels a lot better to go that way then the way coffee companies compete in the language they use to continually kind of try to outdo each other in saying how much ‘work’ they do, how good they are, how close to the source they are.</p><p>I think just gently and not hypercritically, just let's roll it back a bit and try to be accurate and think about words we use. That's what I want to do and it just feels better, it feels more comfortable and I also feel it takes pressure off myself too, to describe my work that way. </p><p>The other way I've talked about myself is and what I do when I travel is that I'm a personal shopper. Like I don't buy these coffees for me, I buy them for my customers, so I'm here on their behalf to find really good coffee as best I can to make good choices. And you know, to try to find values, value in the coffee, I think some buyers feel just like some tourists feel. Like: “oh I can't haggle you know, I can't push back on a price someone gives me”, and then they're like resentful that they paid something. </p><p style="text-align: center;">(…)</p><p>It's kind of expected of you and if you're not comfortable with that [then] don't resent the fact that you just paid triple the price that you maybe should have. It's okay to negotiate on price with people, because I think it treats them with a kind of respect of being a business. Like you're a business, you know they can decide for themselves what they need and they're intelligent and know what they need to earn presumably. And if you just fairly say “hey this is 50 cents over last year, I know these costs went up, I know you're not asking for this because, but do you think we could meet in the middle, do you think you could do this?”</p><p>And to me that feels like fair and if they can't, they can't. I mean, I want to deal with coffee sources where their coffee is good and so if it doesn't work out with us, [then] they will have another buyer because they have something real to stand on. And it's kind of tricky because, I don't know, I feel like sometimes this idea of “you're helping farmers by buying the coffee” has a patronizing feeling.</p><p>It may feel like you're respecting them in a way, but I sometimes think it's the opposite. It's like you're doing something good and that's like charity. And that charity may ultimately not benefit anybody. It may in the short term, but if someone for example [uses it as] a cool story behind their coffee and [they] are buying it and then business fails, goes a different direction or something, just doesn't buy [anymore] from that country that year.</p><p>When they take their coffee out to sell it they're either going to have to find someone like you who's “charitable” or they're going to have to take a lot less money because their coffee maybe wasn't worth it of itself. So I think it's important on quality to be honest and I think having that as the basis of buying coffee can be pretty solid. </p><p>You know it's a real value that they can take to somewhere else and someone else and it'll be there for them so I don't think you know that's not like A or B, or yes or no. It's not really a perfect solution because I can see something kind of patronizing in that too but between two different approaches and buying coffee I think that's better for me, it feels a little better.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>15’00”</i></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Part II | </i><i>22’01” </i></p><p>Talking about price like “what price are you paying?” You find this [in] a lot of places and even the marketing people are like “we pay a great price to farmers”. But it's volume that matters so much; if you don't have much coffee to sell, no matter if you get an amazing price, it doesn't do much. Growing, getting good production, having a lot of cherries on the tree, knowing how to treat trees well and having the resources to do that is so important and it's really something that I'm seeing all over here. </p><p>The fancier farm we went to yesterday that has good investment, that's really well organized, you can see that their production is really high, they're growing under managed shade trees, it's lush and beautiful. And you'll see other places with just no shade, spindly little trees, environmentally it's not very sound and for the coffee it's just not going to produce much. And even if they did have great coffee, which they probably don't, and got a great price it doesn't go very far you know. </p><p>If you have a thousand kgs to sell at a fantastic price it doesn't mean much in what you can reinvest in the farm, as opposed to having five thousand kgs that you sell at a good price and potentially some at a great price. So that's kind of on my mind here but it's nice to see this place and kind of understand the specific issues. </p><p>One of the things with coming to producing regions is that – you know [I was] just at SCA [Expo] a month ago and you hear talk about this and talk about that and what farmers need. But you come to specific regions and it's [when] you realize that like coffee in one place and coffee in another place are just not the same thing. There's a whole other way that you need to think about and talk about coffee and apply these sort of ideas that first of all doesn't just come from some [coffee] forum held in [a buyer’s country] by people that you know have the means to travel there or the position to travel there.</p><p>It needs to come from the location itself an, you know, it's great to have ideas come in that are from somewhere else and are fresh, but it's also important to have ideas bubble up from the specifics from “what do coffee farmers need here?”.</p><p style="text-align: center;">(…)</p><p>I just think there's a kind of hubris and the way coffee gets talked about uniformly and unilaterally. And just as the singular thing, and coming to a producing region, I think one of the reasons travel and coffee is good and enriches [a] person's understanding of it is the specificity of each place, [of] getting that context and understanding how [and] what coffee is here, is not what coffee is somewhere else. </p><p>And a coffee farmer here is not a coffee farmer somewhere else, and that's why the local agronomist to me is one of the most important people because they bring in knowledge and expertise but they're always trying to look at the context in order to find out what actually works on the ground and what people will actually do which is probably the most important thing of all.</p><p style="text-align: center;">So yeah…</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>– 26’48”</i></p><div><br /></div>mazelcofhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07005915449067655776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242244583797018486.post-65037241277366343402023-01-03T05:08:00.042-08:002023-01-03T07:12:33.448-08:00Robusta Coffee | history - taste - trivia<p style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This text first appeared in the summer of 2020 as a trilogy on the blog section of Dutch coffee subscription service Roast.

Since the past decade (the fourth wave?!) These developments have accelerated. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Robusta coffee is part of this, in order to become 'Fine / Premium Robusta' as much as possible: <i>“a class of defect-free Robusta similar to Specialty Arabica, in which coffee presents unique and desirable characteristics as a result of an interaction between varieties, micro-climates in origin and accentuated by best cultivation and processing practices.”*</i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-small;">(*partly based on and inspired by Fine Robusta – Standards and Protocols booklet, The Coffee Quality Institute // G. Davies, Standart Magazine #18 // Conilon Coffee 3rd edition, Incaper.)</span></i></p><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i>Appearance</i></span></h3><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The term 'Robusta' is actually the name of a widely grown variety of this species. It is a <i>robust</i> shrub or small tree with a shallow root system, but capable of growing up to 10 meters in height. The fruits are rounder than those of the average Arabica berry. The seeds, on the other hand, are mainly oval in shape. Robusta takes 1 to 2 months longer to grow from flower to ripe berry. Ripe berries usually remain on the tree for a very long time.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The identification -apart from the correct main name at all- is confusing, but two main forms are usually distinguished: 'Robusta' - the plant with more erect forms and the 'Nganda' - which forms more spread out in width. Other varieties have glorious names such as Apoata, Peridiana, Erecta, Gamé, Nemaya, Sankuru, Bukoba, Niaouli, Maclaudi, Laurenti, Petit, Indénié, Nana, Oka, CxR etc.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Robusta is grown in West and Central Africa, Southeast Asia and in some regions of Central and South America, such as Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua and in Brazil, where it is known as Conilon. In Costa Rica, the ban (!) on cultivating Robusta has been discussed and (fixed) revised for some time.</span></p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: helvetica;"><u> History </u></b></h1><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The first commercial cultivation of Robusta began exactly 150 years ago in the Democratic Republic of Congo using wild plant seeds collected on the banks of the Lomami River.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgDHNARetCAcG7Dw69YfS5rquh5dt1Ljzefj5kxVtMUzoVEqkEUCbefiKdHcu6-COtp3-E5qG33immv5Z28dez9DqBfS3wJE854zBVVKNOZQxgonTdgUz3gWXzha8v77QDzpC-6aLlcksEd6n6KFvZ-Ci07-khjh4QMNljtTUw0Zw7cyuE-gA8_V8bhyw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1216" data-original-width="4800" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgDHNARetCAcG7Dw69YfS5rquh5dt1Ljzefj5kxVtMUzoVEqkEUCbefiKdHcu6-COtp3-E5qG33immv5Z28dez9DqBfS3wJE854zBVVKNOZQxgonTdgUz3gWXzha8v77QDzpC-6aLlcksEd6n6KFvZ-Ci07-khjh4QMNljtTUw0Zw7cyuE-gA8_V8bhyw=w706-h179" width="706" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Christina Bergey - Own work, Wikimedia)</span></i></div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Botanists also discovered the same species ten years later in the Bukoba region of Tanzania. The 'Kouillou' </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-small;">(phonetically altered and transformed to ´Conilon´ in Brazil)</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> breed was observed in 1880 by the French, more west, between Gabon and the mouth of the Congo River, mainly along the eponymous Kouillou River in present-day Congo-Brazzaville. Later the species was also found in Madagascar where it was cultivated on a large scale. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In 1895, the French botanist Louis Pierre described the material as 'Coffea canephora'. Two years later, the German Albert Froehner published a description of the species; According to him, in 1900 seeds of Coffea canephora from Congo were sent to the House of Horticulture of Jean Linden in Brussels, whose son Lucien marketed it under the name 'Coffea robusta'. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">From here, seeds were sent to Java, where it achieved great success by being resistant to the rust disease. This positive momentum marked the beginning of large-scale cultivation of 'robusta' coffee in Indonesia. Hence the generalization of the name 'robusta' which, with an optimistic note, refers to 'robustness' and resistance to disease in equatorial climates. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The plant collection was further enriched with material from Gabon and Uganda. The robusta plants brought to India came from collections and selections from Indonesia, Uganda, Ghana, Mali and Ivory Coast. Subsequently, cultivation spread to other regions in Africa, Asia and South America (especially Brazil).</span></p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: helvetica;"><u> Taste </u></b></h1><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">'Fine Robusta' coffee is known for lower levels of salt (producing a harsh taste) and higher levels of organic acids (producing a smooth, balanced taste). The "salt/acid" ratio is the relative balance between the salt sensations, mainly driven by the higher potassium levels of Robusta coffees as opposed to the normally lower levels of organic acids, especially citric acid (compared to Arabica). </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This ratio is responsible for the pleasant and delicate taste derived from distinct acidity in Robusta coffees, which result from the presence of fruit acids and sugars. Lower levels of potassium or salty compounds that make robusta coffees taste coarse or harsh are absent in Fine Robusta. The discernible perception of a pleasant acidity is one of the striking taste differences between Fine and lower quality Robusta coffees.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The "bitter/sweet" ratio is the relative balance between these two sensations, with the optimal combination of low bitterness and high sweetness. Both bitter and sweet taste sensations are present in robusta coffees. The bitter component mainly comes from the caffeine and potassium levels, while the sweet component is derived from, among other things, fruit acids. Fine Robusta coffees have a low bitter and high sweet aspect in their taste, while commercial Robusta coffees usually have this reversed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Commonly found fruity flavor notes in Fine Robusta include: cherry, black currant, raisin, raspberry, currant, dried fig, plum, and lemon. Nutty and spicy flavor notes can reveal themselves as: walnut, almond, malt, cloves, coriander and allspice. Sweetness presents itself as: molasses, syrup, caramel, honey and dark chocolate. Newer processing methods like honey, (carbonic) macerated or inoculated can generate several (tropical/stone-) fruit notes, like pineapple, coconut and mango, as well as praline, pine nuts and dark honey.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i>Arabica or Robusta?</i></span></h3><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Crosses between Arabica and Robusta are aimed at improving the former, by imparting disease resistance and potency from the latter. Grafting Arabica onto Robusta is one way: A part of one plant is attached to a part of the other plant, so that it lives and grows, as it were, on the strong shoulders of the wearer. Hybrid seeds can also be grown at an earlier stage by crossing the correct combinations of genes in laboratories. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In recent decades, many national coffee research institutes have already developed such new varieties, which are often encountered on a bag of coffee. Spontaneous, natural crossings have also occurred over the many years. The most famous examples of Arabica, with a hint of Robusta are: Catimor, Icatú, Catucaí, Marsellesa, Castillo, Colombia, Lempira, Tabí and Obatá.</span></p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: helvetica;"><u> Trivia </u></b></h1><ul><li><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Robusta contains at least twice as much caffeine as Arabica.</span></li></ul><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, the largest producing country of Robusta coffee, has a statue honoring Louis Pierre, the first describer of the variety.</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhPYaz69m0MGjEg0pacTPZjOuQdiboICWcEQgIXHbffRn-D2V8rBa-XcThgkVy2tMotl1SC0yjGDdPg4xF_EXXYSjbPKI2YmS7WGIY-tQchFgINPGvVesvZbynyzxti21Yq20rqPjHTKPF-W_2f_tfRPG3MMa84Ex8YoKh_v_FYLYFTQdfecgJelkRcsQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3296" data-original-width="2472" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhPYaz69m0MGjEg0pacTPZjOuQdiboICWcEQgIXHbffRn-D2V8rBa-XcThgkVy2tMotl1SC0yjGDdPg4xF_EXXYSjbPKI2YmS7WGIY-tQchFgINPGvVesvZbynyzxti21Yq20rqPjHTKPF-W_2f_tfRPG3MMa84Ex8YoKh_v_FYLYFTQdfecgJelkRcsQ=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Tượng J.B</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> @Thuydaonguyen - Own work)</span></div></span></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Arabica is the love child of mother Coffea Eugenioides 💘 father Coffea Canephora.

He said one of the most insightful things about it I’ve heard yet: “we should be treating this like a completely different product. If we use our ‘arabica-tasting’ perspective to taste robusta, we’re going to miss the point.”</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The point is: we don’t have to worry about them competing with one another for consumers. They serve completely different markets.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hear that, coffee people? There’s an entirely different coffee market you may be snoozing on. Hat tip to Sahra Nguyen of Nguyen Coffee Supply. She gets it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The mass market is segmented: the gas station coffee crowd isn’t into fruity & floral, delicate tea-like body. They want “kick,” a “strong coffee” that gets them and keeps them moving, or as they’d put it: “coffee that tastes like coffee.” For them, robusta is the most coffee that coffee can be. Remember, many Americans have all been drinking robusta this whole time without knowing it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Turn your nose up at robusta at your peril. I’m not saying you have to buy it or sell it. You don’t even have to drink it! But keep your eye on it.</div></span></span></span></div><div class="update-components-text relative feed-shared-update-v2__commentary" dir="ltr" style="--artdeco-reset-typography_getfontsize: 1.4rem;

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Every now
and then most of us in coffee trade and hospitality, get questioned about ‘that
first moment’, when coffee became a/the big/gest part of their life, be it as amateur
or (later as) professional. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Often heard is THE moment someone drank ‘another’
coffee, then they were used to. Probably the time and place and mindset and (in
both senses) company intervened considerably. Let’s agree to “blame” serendipity here. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(I <span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">♥</span> serendipity)</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For me it
was a build-up several years, being around my father, him always creating some
mythical stuff around brewing, ordering and tasting. Respectively, a pinch of salt
on the grounds and blooming first, very important! (I’m talking the 80’s now).
Ordering meant asking for the exact description of the beverage, usually
espresso, so especially on holidays in Spain it had to be a <i>café solo</i>
(NOT just “un café” or worse, “un expresso”). And tasting… the first sip always
seemed to decide his mood for the next hour(s). It became a habit to –
cautiously – ask him after that first sip had sunken in: <i>“And? Is it good..?”</i>. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Later
I inherited his Krups portafilter machine, a holy (albeit mostly plastic)
device, for only being meant to be used on special occasions. Between then and now coffee
slowly, became more and more one of the (three </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "segoe ui emoji" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😉</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">) most important things in life for me. Continuously upgrading my soft-
and hardware, fed by more (and more, and *more*) information and all other 3<sup>rd</sup> wave’s be(a)nefits, sideways collecting logo branded <a href="http://www.espressocups.coffee/" target="_blank">espresso cups</a> as a hobby that is getting a bit out of hand <span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">😂</span>. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And oh yeah… switching <a href="https://nl.linkedin.com/in/norman-mazel-b4150320" target="_blank">careers</a> 11 years

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Of course I
do remember the feeling and experience my regular cortado at Dutch first specialty
shop <a href="http://www.coffeecompany.nl/" target="_blank">Coffee Company</a> gave me about 20 years ago (often made by barista <a href="https://www.instagram.com/coffeejasper/?hl=nl" target="_blank">Jasper Uhlenbusch</a>,
their current green coffee buyer) – a cortado then being a sophisticated step-up
from bigger milky drinks from lesser quality beans; the moment from whom I had
my first specialty beans (<a href="http://www.hasbean.co.uk/" target="_blank">Has Bean UK</a> as a 12-months subscriber back in 2008!);
and I do know when I drank my first Geisha (in 2013 and no, not a Panamanian
but the ‘original’ first Central-American, a Costa Rican, from <a href="http://www.coffeadiversa.com/" target="_blank">Coffea Diversa</a>
via <a href="https://www.brazucacoffee.nl/" target="_blank">Brazuca Coffee</a> Amsterdam).</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">All are great moments and memories! But was one
of these my real first sensorically subliminal momentum (<i>“a stimulus or
mental process below the threshold of sensation or consciousness; perceived by
or affecting someone's mind without their being aware of it.”</i>)??</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Already in
1853 this company started selling Indonesian products in a shop in The Hague. Three
different families ran the business for 114 years until 1967 when the pictured Buys
family took over. Piet and Corrie had little experience with stores, but by
opting for quality and attention they were successful (hear, hear!). The coffee
was freshly roasted and ground by themselves and they also blended the tea in-house.
The focus more and more became on these two products, no longer selling other
(typical Indonesian) products such as “kroepoek” and “tempeh”. After Piet's
death in 1993, Corrie continued with the help of trusted employees. Unfortunately,
Corrie also passed away in the first decade of this century. The store
threatened to close four years ago, but coincidentally it was saved by a
Chinese statue in the shop window. The statue was owned by the Buys family. The
owner contacted Krista, the daughter of Piet and Corrie: she had to come and
get the statue because the store was closing. She couldn’t let that happen and decided
to… buy the store back into the family! Krista succeeded her parents with pride
and enthusiasm. To this day – 20 steps further down the same road, there are
still customers who already came to get orders from her parents at the time.</span></blockquote>

Here below you can find lots of information when thinking about and preparing for "The Q" aka the Q Grader certificate. That's either the Arabica or the Robusta course, because the type and amount of exams for both are pretty much overlapping. Needless to say, the coffee types are different ;-) Also needless to say that the main starting point is CQI's very own <a href="http://database.coffeeinstitute.org/the-q-coffee-system/">website</a>.<div>
<br />
A very helpful website, giving a clear overview is Andrew Hetzel’s <a href="https://www.coffeestrategies.com/q-grader/">coffeestrategies</a><br /><i>

<br />
Andrew also set up the Standards and Protocols for <a href="https://cdn.coffeestrategies.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/compiled-standards-distribute1.1.pdf">Fine Robusta</a>.</div><div><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span><br />Several personal reports and insightful reviews:<br /><ul><li>Kim Westerman in 2016 @ <a href="https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/10/12/what-is-the-q-grader-coffee-system-and-what-does-it-mean-for-your-morning-cup/">Coffee Review<br /></a></li><li>Asser Christensen in 2018 @ <a href="https://coffeechronicler.com/q-grader-course/ " target="_blank">The Coffee Chronicler</a></li><li>Tomas Laca´s <a href="https://europeancoffeetrip.com/q-grader-exam-guide/">overview</a> (from October 2021)</li><li>The full story about <a href="http://coffeestrides.blogspot.nl/2016/11/how-to-prepare-for-taking-q-arabica.html">the Q week</a> I did in Paris, 2015, as written by my course ‘Qolleague’ Cerianne Bury<span style="font-size: x-small;"> <i>(I sadly fell off the adjoining picture on the left side..
