What is Third Wave Coffee?
The "third wave of coffee" is a way of thinking about coffee. It's like how people think about fine wine or craft beer. It means focusing on where the coffee comes from. It also means paying attention to how it's roasted and brewed.
How is it Different?
First, it's about the beans. Companies like Ritual Coffee buy beans from specific farms. They often know the farmers personally. This helps them get the best quality beans.
Second, it's about roasting. They roast the beans carefully to bring out unique flavors. This is different from mass-produced coffee. The goal is to highlight the natural taste of the coffee.
Third, it's about brewing. Baristas (coffee makers) are trained experts. They use special methods to make each cup perfect. This includes things like water temperature and brewing time.
