Feed Back on Last Issue of the Tea & Coffee Trade Journals article on Let's Talk About Estate Coffees & The Fourth Wave!

I have received many emails regarding the article I wrote that was printed in the last issue of the Tea & Coffee Trade Journal. The first thing I would like to say is the T&C Trade Journal is the International & Trusted Voice of the Tea & Coffee Industries Since 1901. This statement is printed on the front of each issue. They don't print Fairy Tails......

Now getting back to the emails. All have been positive! One email invited me to be on the Inland Coffee Empire Radio Show. You can hear the first airing of the prerecorded show this coming Saturday at 9am PST. All the the emails had a statement like "Thank You, it's about time". Also, "I thought I was the only one that felt this way". Others said, "I have tried my hardest to taste Watermelon, Key lime, and Blackberry cobbler but could never taste those tastes when I cupped my new crop samples. I thought something was wrong with me". There is! You just don't have a big enough imagination!! Don't you know it's in vogue to embellish, the politicians have been doing it for years.

I could go on and on with the comments I have received. It will be interesting to see if there are any negative comments written to the editor in the next issue of the Tea & Coffee Trade Journal. I would like to leave you with a comment that I received in one of those emails......."FOURTH WAVE, HELL YES!
