Hi, Rox Here, removing the shell of coffee beans is a crucial step in the coffee production process, known as dehusking or hulling. The parchment layer must be eliminated to expose the green coffee beans, which is achieved through hulling. This process can be accomplished using various methods, including dry milling or wet processing, depending on the coffee's characteristics and the desired flavor profile. Hulling not only reveals the coffee beans in their raw state but also plays a pivotal role in refining the quality of the final coffee product. The meticulous removal of the shell ensures that the unique flavors and aromas locked within the beans can be fully realized during subsequent roasting and brewing stages.

Is Lemon Cloudy Cider part of your Super Bowl or Six Nations Rugby “sit down in front of the TV” beverage selection?   Great news! You now have two choices to consider for your list. A recent court ruling favored Aldi over Thatchers Cloudy Lemon Cider in a trademark infringement case, where it was alleged that their cans had resemblance. However, the judge determined that there were minimal similarities.    This is a good reminder of why it's crucial to protect your brand through various registered trademarks for the distinctive name and look of your product, not only for the present but also for the future. #metispartners #intellectualproperty #infringement

As I leave Vegas after meeting lenders and many more at the TMA / SFNet conference, I read this piece and googled Aldi and of course “location based” searching told me they are opening in Vegas this year! Nevertheless, I can’t believe these guys are at it again as it’s not the first time Aldi have been in trouble like this. I don’t know about you, but the two products look pretty similar to me and as you drift along the drinks aisle in your supermarket / grocery store you might pick up a pack or two, thinking it’s your favourite brand and it’s not! That is why some brand owners go to great lengths to protect the names and the look and even distinctive colours of their products e.g. BPs distinctive green color in their logo or Cadburys purple colour they use on all their packaging. These businesses have trademarked those colours and no competitor can use that colour to sell competing products. But since Aldi sell around 90pct own label and you can’t buy Aldi brands in non-Aldi stores you are unlikely to find these competing cloudy cider beverages in the same store. So ultimately this copycat strategy may be a clever element of Aldi’s marketing strategy to raise awareness of the Aldi brand with folks who aren’t familiar with the brand. So by infringing other folks IP they pay the price / penalty which may in fact be cheaper than regular marketing spend or even a halftime ad at the Super Bowl! We value brands and we analyse and benchmark them often against hundreds of other similar brands we’ve valued, but I’ve never valued a brand that used a copycat marketing strategy to increase the awareness and value of their brand. However, if Aldi’s copycat strategy is just that, then it’s worked as I’ve fallen into that trap and so have you!

Flexibility of Cask Strength Whisky to Suit Your Tastes Cask strength whisky is special because it comes straight from the barrel without any water added. Usually, whisky makers add water to make the taste the same every time. But with cask strength, nothing is added or taken away. It's just as it was in the barrel. The great thing about cask strength whisky is that you get to choose how strong you want it to taste. You can add a little water, a lot of water, or no water at all. This way, you can make your drink taste exactly how you like it. It's really fun and gives you many options.  #whisky #WhiskyCask #whiskyinvestment #investmentopportunity #investments #rarewhisky #WhiskyInvestment #caskinvestment #investment #whiskyinvesting #casket #cask #whiskyinvest #UKinvestors #austrlianinvestors🚀 #alternativeInvestments #australia
