Is Coffee Similar To Wine?

You may have noticed many wine aficionados choosing a specific type of wine based on the characteristics, year, and how it was cultivated. In the same manner, a coffee expert can provide you with equal skill in choosing freshly roasted coffee beans based on the characteristics offered by the region that the beans were grown in.

So how do you get to that point in your coffee drinking? One thing to take into consideration is how the coffee beans were grown. Some factors that may affect the taste of your brew are the country where the beans were grown, the method of picking, the method of drying, and the method of roasting. It is also preferable to choose 100% Arabica coffee beans over the lesser quality Robusta variety.

Coffee industries are working to catch up to wine growing regions in verifying their authenticity. Interestingly enough, one of the most historical coffee growing regions, Jamaican Blue Mountain, did not even receive their US certification until 1986!
