Short: Does virtual coffee taste the same?

Ugandan coffees will be tasted as part of the first Internet coffee tasting on September 17, a dialogue between growers and consumers. Tasters in the U.S. and Uganda will critique coffee, share concerns about how it was produced, and watch other tasters' reactions via White Pine Software's CU-seeme, Internet video connection, as reported by the Nando Times. Uganda Coffee Trade Federation said it is looking to the Internet as a cost-effective way to advertise its coffee internationally.
