People who love fine coffee all know that coffee varieties, cultivation methods, refining methods and other elements are very important. The flavor of fine coffee is a comprehensive factor, that is, the variety, soil and the comprehensive expression of the concept of traditional fine coffee after baking. It tells us that bean species, altitude, microclimate and soil determine the quality of raw beans, as if where and what kinds of beans are planted will determine the fate of raw beans. Determines her market price. As in the past, the raw bean competition in Yunnan does not include the above information, only focusing on the treatment method and effect.

So the question is: does it make sense for farmers to work hard to cultivate and improve coffee varieties? Generation after generation of farmers around the world have devoted themselves to improving the selection of Arabica coffee. The era has developed to the extent that artificial post-processing can surpass the innate advantages of varieties? Is it the progress of the times that the exquisite treatment has surpassed the fine varieties, or is the historical retrogression gradually replacing the flavor?

The witty Mr. Taguchi probably saw through everything already: ▼

So here's the problem. Q-Grader thinks:

1. The variety of boutique coffee doesn't matter anymore.

2, the altitude of boutique coffee doesn't matter?

Tell our peasant friends: as long as you pay attention to the way your beans are handled, you can get a high score. At the same time, curiously, Q-Grader 's store began to sell some Katim? This is what happened in the world of boutique coffee.
