What goes into great coffee? My new book connects global tastemakers’ quest for quality to the lives and desires of Maya farmers in Guatemala in a story of terroir and taste, quality and craft, justice and necessity, worth and value. #coffee #value https://t.co/FVfagqwgk4

On the subject of regulating cannabis, TN's feckless legislature in the session just ended once again chose nanny-state provincialism over giving the people what they want. My latest column up today at @TNLookout.

Amsterdam pilots optical road marks to suggest roads are narrower than they really are. It helps car drivers respect the new 30 km/h speed limit.

@JordanBuch_anan @DailyCoffeeNews Great piece. Xue serves a very solid coffee—and has a great selection of single-origin chocolates to boot.
