Very good question. I actually put together some coffees for various restaurants, beginning many years ago and continuing into the early 90s (which some people would also consider many years ago <smile>). I never roasted though; that's a major variable I wouldn't get involved in, and the restaurants didn't seem to want to be involved in. We found small suppliers with good reputations for consistency, and went from there. To keep our blends exclusive we blended from different suppliers. (I don't think any of our supplies roasted themselves either.) I suppose this could have been a serious business for me, but it never was. Sorry, I no longer have the detailed records we kept <frown>. They were on computers that were taken out of service quite some time ago.
