Here's a little something that our good friends at Illy passed our way, upon hearing about our love for their beans. It turns out that the Fanatic Cook has an opinion or two about the same report.
While we at Wenzel are among the first to declare our love for the crema e gusto of a good espresso, and will take any excuse we can get to pour ourselves a cup, we nevertheless share a bit of the scepticism offered by the Fanatic Cook. The idea of an International Coffee Organization reminds us too much of the dubious Tabacco Research Institute.
In somewhat related news, it turns out that organic chocolate farming is booming in Venezuela. The beans are fetching four times the price of non-organic ones, and some industry experts are predicting the rise of "single bean organic Venezuelan" chocolate to be akin to single malt scotch in brandability.
