Title

George Howell's Terroir Select Coffees

Description

Terroir™ Select Coffee was created in early 2004 to forge a new kind of partnership with coffee growers – one which recognizes their fundamental role and identity in the production of high quality coffees. We believe that one should not blend truly fine coffees, just like one does not blend fine wines, because they are already complete statements. There has been very little incentive, in terms of remuneration and acknowledgement, for producers to create really great coffees.

Aficionados! You have barely tasted the tip of the potential quality iceberg! Coffee growers remain locked in the commodity matrix because the coffee-roaster tradition has promoted blends as products superior to the sum of their parts – meaning the single origin coffees. So, most farmers produce what the market demands: acceptable, large coffee lots for blending. Growers of anonymous coffees-to-be-blended depend for economic sustenance on the goodwill and/or temporal strategies of the buyers’ market, from giant corporations to Fair Trade. Coffee producers, so far, do not have the market platform for high-craft self-expression.

Coffee has progressed from the flatline-quality graveyard of the 1960 and 70’s to the quality trapezoid of today’s specialty blend market. This trapezoid now needs to be crowned with great single-source, named coffees to become a quality pyramid – for the health of the marketplace, the growers, the growers’ nations – and for our very real pleasure and delight!
