coffee snobs (person)

People who have a true epicurean appreciation for the fine art of all things coffee. This is far and above the myraid of lemmings who ritually congregate at the local Starbucks, trying like hell to appear hip and trendy.

A true coffee snob:

• Can tell you who was responsible for introducing this beverage to the Western World. (it was Queen Isabella)
• Knows that Indoniesian varieties are lower in acidity than African or Central/South American offerings.
• Knows what a "peaberry" is.
• Will not settle for robusta if there's arabica to be enjoyed.
• Knows where 85% of the annual Jamaican Blue Mountain crop gets automatically shipped. (to Japan)
• Is knowledgeable about the many methods of preparation that are used world-wide.
• Glady shares these, and other facts about coffee, with others who wish to learn them.
