Question: You may have covered this in your content, but I’m sometimes a bit intimidated at coffee shops because I’m not sure how Kenyan coffee may differ from Colombian. Because of my ignorance, I often play it safe by going with Colombian, but maybe I’m missing out on other growers. Could you provide a primer by region to direct us to the different qualities? — Jacques
Answer: More than happy to, Jacques. The marketing of Colombian coffee has been outstanding and certainly makes it stand out, but it is by no means the only quality or even best coffee in the world. Check out Different Kinds of Coffee for the primer you’re looking for. To get you started, my personal favorite has always been coffee from Guatemala and I’ll choose it first. It has a bold flavor. It has a complex flavor, which means for those with a sophistocated sense of taste, that there’s alot going on when you taste it – floral, spicy, sometimes fruity depending on the coffee. It is usually a full-bodied coffee which means it doesn’t sit in your mouth like skim milk. But, I’m just one person.
