"It seems the focus this year is more about the process of beans (either for cooking or as a beverage); the use of tea & its culture (in Japan & Korea). I felt beans and leaves may be under-represented - the different kinds of coffee & tea, each with its own distinctive flavor. The presentations are informative. Well, with its third year running, I'll say keep it up and come 2009, we will be pleasantly surprised! "
