From Our Own Correspondent: The Coffee of a Lifetime
The worldwide coffee industry and where to get the best cupful on Earth.
Peter Day has criss-crossed the world reporting on the global coffee industry. It is big news in business terms - coffee is said to be the developing world's most valuable freely-traded commodity, second in value only to oil. It's a sector which often tries out new marketing tricks and capitalises on buzzwords - from 'organic' to 'artisan'. But in the end it revolves around human satisfaction, and what the drinker likes best. From Indonesia's 'kopi luwak' (previously eaten and excreted by civet cats) to the market-busting beans of Vietnam, Peter recalls some of his hottest tips - and reveals where to get the best cupful he's ever tasted anywhere.
