Some exotic lots still get attention, but more buyers around me ask if the lot can repeat same behavior every batch. A coffee can score high one time and still become headache in production roast. Is...
throwing this here because the topic is getting louder and my confidence is not getting better. Strong first cupping scores are hiding weak storage readiness on some lots forum talk makes it sound...
Lately some buyers ask water activity before they ask moisture. I also see coffees with normal moisture but they fade fast after roast sample and short storage. For people buying green for roasting...

I keep hearing more talk about cherry rest before pulping, not only fermentation after pulping. Some say short controlled rest can build more sweetness, others say it only adds risk. From roast side...
