Why drink Estate Coffee?
Even if a roaster only buys the highest of the 5 grades of arabica as identified
by the S.C.A.A. (Specialty Coffee Association of America) from the country of
origin, that highest grade will still be a mixture of beans from several
farms blended together at a localized mill. Some of these farms may be producing
spectacular coffee far superior to their neighbors at nearby farms but the blending
will result in losing some if not most of these taste delights. Blending the
beans from several farms also results in inconsistent flavor., even at the highest
quality. By buying that highest grade directly from the farm that's doing the
magic, not only can you count on all the classic taste characteristics the growing
region is known for but you also get to enjoy these glorious flavor subtleties
unique to the farm every time you brew it.
