Thailand? "Gee, dear, the coffee has a different tang today"

Most of the coffee we have on the market today taste like crap, however, to drink coffee actually pulled out of crap ... I think I will pass (so to speak).

Some clever businessman is laughing (at his crazy customers) all the way to the bank. What (literal) crap people will give away their $ for. Ha!ha!

Just sub the word coffee for chili. If you’ve seen Porky’s you know what I mean.

It sounds like our current government. Liberals eating the droppings of RINO elephants.

coffee pooped by civet cats not selling well these days? This is big bidness. You want high volume production, you go with high volume stomachs.

I want to hear a description of the flavor that makes this coffee so unique. I mean really, would any regular coffee drinker be able to appreciate it? To me, as a roaster, Colombian Huila is consistently some of the best tasting coffee on the planet for the price of green beans anywhere.
I thought by comparison, Hawaiian and Jamaican simply didn't compare. OTOH, fans of the latter are looking for delicate, smooth balanced flavor and I want a coffee bean that shakes it's brown biznezz in your face and says "Ya se que te quieres!"
Anyway, I guess I'll never know, as I still haven't come across a compelling argument to eat or drink a product of something else's digestive system.

Here's something interesting. In Colombia, of course you'll find a ton of variety in the coffee selection on the shelves of the local market. Regions and estates can easily get their product on the shelf in a busy market. What surprised me was the first time I tried Colombian milk in a bag. I thought "This can't be good". It lasts up to 90 days like that.
Well, surprise: It was incredibly delicious. It tasted like fresh creamery milk. Frothy, think consistent and full of flavor. I like about 15-20% milk to coffee but this stuff? I looked forward as much to the milk as the coffee!
The hardest part about the whole thing is on returning to America, you have no chance, even with the organic stuff of duplicating the experience outside of a farm. To make things worse, you look a the food prices and keep thinking "This has to be the peso price...it's twice as expensive as it should be!"
