I was just in Hanoi, and some of their roasters are incredible value for money. Lots of co-fermented specialty Vietnam-grown Robusta and Liberica at incredible prices, far cheaper than what people would find from roasters that import their beans from Colombia or any of the other big coffee-growing countries. | ||||||||

A fun read. It's interesting to think about the trade limitations imposed on East Germany and how those impacted daily things we take for granted. | ||||||||

Coffee with Chicory? Tres Frenchy. Coffee with Chicory, Oats, and christ knows what? Not chic. | ||||||||

The article never defines GDR, but I looked it up in case you were also unfamiliar: The German Democratic Republic (GDR), commonly known as East Germany, was a socialist state in Central Europe that existed from October 7, 1949, to October 3, 1990 | ||||||||
