1. The Botany of\u00a0Coffe<\/span>e<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    2. Processing & Flavor<\/p>\n

        • A honey or experimental process (balanced and complex)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Use aroma jars, dried plant materials, or fruit samples to connect flavors back to the plant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
