Jamaica Blue Mountain is a fine variety of coffee, amiright?
Pesticides & deforestation, low quality, forced government planning, Nescafe & Starbucks as the major backers, and even they admit there's nothing worthy of a single origin in sight. If Nescafe's complaining about the quality being low for instant...
Yeah, from those links you posted it sounded like most of the coffee grown in China is either Robusta or Catimor a cross between Caturra and Hibrido de Timor. High yields, often grown as sun coffee, with a reputation for inferior quality.One of the articles mentioned they're using a strain of arabica that has some robusta characteristics or is a cross breed or...I don't know. Frankenbean?
