Tasting Donald Trump's Wine; McDonald's New McGriddle

Apparently the coffee in Colombia, one of the world's most famous coffee producing countries, sucks. Travelogue Roads & Kingdoms investigated the situation in a recent piece and notes that coffee in Colombian cafes tastes like "battery acid" for two reasons: When Colombia's coffee trade first took off in the 60s and 70s growers and exporters sold the best beans to other countries like America. It became normal to save the scrappy beans for Colombian consumption, and the country's population grew to have a taste for what they call "tinto," an inky black coffee-like drink. The tide is changing, though, as a younger generation realizes the potential of Colombia's home grown Arabica beans, long prized around the world for their nuanced flavors.
