As someone new to coffee roasting, how do you know what beans from what regions and what part of the world are good?
The more I read and research the more confusing it becomes. Is there a good resource (apart from Coffee Snobs of course) such as a book that breaks the world into regions and disscusses the beans that come from these regions and what they are suited for? How does someone know to blend one type of bean from South America with another from Africa to make a really great blend or is it just a long journey of trial an error?
I realise this is a how long is a piece of string question but a starting point would be great.
Cheers
