| Abstract: |
Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, one of the most heavily traded agricultural commodities on the planet, and one of the most valuable exports from developing countries. And as our taste for fancy single-origin beans that save our livers from the night before has risen, the world’s coffee producers have risen to meet it despite ongoing ecological problems. So how do our coffee producers pull it off? By lying through their teeth, and Italian researchers have had it with fake blends. Unsurprisingly for a country that invented tiny, highly caffeinated drinks, Italians take their coffee very seriously. |
