Typically, it's coffee that's arabica rather than robusta and is a
single sourced, single species bean that's been cultivated with care
and ground and roasted the same way. This, instead of the low grade
mixed bean junk in the 2lb tin on the sprmkt shelf. Much the same as
Kobe beef vs that generic hamburger in the 1lb plastic tubes.
