This landscape is sparse but beautiful in it's own way, like a good decaf.
Never mind the apostrophe - how can a coffee be "sparse but beautiful"? Sparse in flavour?
The coffee isn't bad, by the way, as instant decafs go.

Sparse in caffeine content, presumably.
ColUmbia????
(one of my pet hates!)
Yeah, to be fair JD you do have a big picture of a jar there with the word clearly spelled correctly!
Argh! When I was composing this post I wrote 'Columbia', then realised my mistake and changed it to 'Colombia'. After that I decided that the entire paragraph was clunky and recast it - only to write 'Columbia' again.
Vincent - yes, presumably. But I think 'sparse' would more appropriately describe a reduced-caffeine coffee than a decaf.
