Selfridges are putting on a 'Brazilian' event this month.
Concomitantly there's a coffee-sampling promotion in their Food Hall with eight high-grown coffees to cup. Better yet, the Growers themselves are there; as are some of the best baristas in the world - most of them from Scandinavia and Iceland.
The coffee quality is astounding.
Most revelatory to me was the realization that Scandinavia is now the centre of coffee excellence: forget Italy.

Hi Peter,
They do well in the barista competitions, but that's a bit like judging hunting dogs on their performance at Crufts.
That said, Finland has been the top per-capita consumer of Arabica in the world for as long as I can remember.
