Mixed-varietal lots with good cup: how do you communicate quality honestly?

satu bulan yang lalu

Recently I have been discussing communicating quality of mixed-varietal lots with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the whole workflow. I am not looking for textbook reply. I want to know whether communicating quality of mixed-varietal lots gives meaningful difference once you repeat it over many cycles.

Would you keep communicating quality of mixed-varietal lots in your normal process, or only for specific coffees and situations?

What helped me most was keeping short notes each time. Without notes, discussion about communicating quality of mixed-varietal lots becomes memory battle and not real evaluation.

I think the bigger issue is not communicating quality of mixed-varietal lots itself but whether your baseline is stable. If baseline keeps moving, then every experiment around it gives mixed signal.
