Generally, an organism's phenotypes (observable characteristics) are a combination of its genes and its environment.
It's a bit like saying "These twins are genetically identical despite growing up at different altitudes, so how can their skin tone be so different?"
- shultays 3y agoDo they taste different though
- sph 3y agoWhat animals and plant eat affect their taste. You do not only taste the protein, you taste the acorn-fed pig (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam%C3%B3n_ib%C3%A9rico https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam%C3%B3n_ib%C3%A9rico)
- mc32 3y agoThey probably have different tastes, right?
- actionfromafar 3y agoMostly no if some random Netflix documentaries are to be believed. :)
- throwup238 3y agoI think we need a blind twin taste test to find out.
- Levitating 3y agoExactly, I find the conclusion in the subheading weird. > Flavour variations are mainly the result of changes at the chromosome level, sequencing effort finds. Though from my limited understanding of coffee tasting, environment is one of the biggest factors in taste. Especially the altitude changes the way to plant grows and develops toxins. > Even if a single-origin Colombian coffee bean harvest was roasted and ground in the same way as a batch from Ethiopia, a coffee connoisseur would be able to tell the difference. But Colombia especially is known for its variety in environments for coffee harvest. So regardless of finding genetic differences between variants, I am not sure they can draw the conclusion that this is what creates variety in flavor. They don't make the claim that a coffee connoisseur could taste the differences of two different coffee variants grown in the same environment.
