Coffee is how I got into wine (not directly). Working in a coffee shop when I was younger taught me how terroir and processing affect flavor. It&#39;s remarkable how different two coffees can taste, just as two wines can be dramatically different. I would love to see an explosion in single origin coffee (and tea for that matter.)</p> <img src="https://www.guildsomm.com/aggbug?PostID=15938&AppID=171&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">RE: Torrents of Black Water: The Abridged Travels of the Coffee Bean to the Far Ends of the Earth!https://www.guildsomm.com/public_content/features/articles/b/stamp/posts/torrents-of-black-water-the-abridged-travels-of-the-coffee-bean-to-the-far-ends-of-the-earthMon, 05 Dec 2011 20:38:35 GMT8277e151-5ba9-4335-93f0-6f497ffb8dc4:bba15a4f-1f21-47d7-adc2-d8ae96c854cbAdmin User0<p>Thanks, Chris! &nbsp;There is a small section with countries/basic flavor profiles in the coffee study guide, but there are so many different factors (regions, subregions, style of processing, bean cultivar) that it is tough to generalize.</p> <img src="https://www.guildsomm.com/aggbug?PostID=15938&AppID=171&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">RE: Torrents of Black Water: The Abridged Travels of the Coffee Bean to the Far Ends of the Earth!https://www.guildsomm.com/public_content/features/articles/b/stamp/posts/torrents-of-black-water-the-abridged-travels-of-the-coffee-bean-to-the-far-ends-of-the-earthMon, 05 Dec 2011 09:42:01 GMT8277e151-5ba9-4335-93f0-6f497ffb8dc4:bba15a4f-1f21-47d7-adc2-d8ae96c854cbChristopher Hoel0<p>As always Mr. Stamp delivers here. II&#39;m interested in seeing a reference chart for flavor profiles from different countires and the type of bean that they are based on.
