【Note】
My very first encounter of Zambian beans dates back to 2006.  Terranova estate has been one of "Starbucks Reserve", former called "Starbucks Black Apron" beans, and I found Terranova became one in 2007.  Flavor of coffee beans is improved every cultivation year since, and now, this beans become available as green beans.  "Roasted" beans are ready to go; however, sometimes green beans touches coffee geeks' spirit to fulfill the desire of "my own coffee".
