Starbucks to start growing coffee in China

Here's the story (lots more on google news): http://www.cnn.co...starbucks/ With all the available coffee just south in Vietnam (including increasing Arabica), makes you wonder what's afoot. Most likely Yunnan coffee will be grown, processed, roasted, sold and drunk in China. I wonder if any will be hawked alsewhere? Stateside? I'd love to get some greens just to see what growing and processing tolerances *$ finds acceptable.

FWIW, DavidG i've had it, and it's not as bad as you would think, but its certainly nothing special. a missionary there decided to import some to texas. i've got his business card around here somewhere if you want to get in touch with him. http://happymugco...
