Café Cubano (Cuban Coffee) (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
„It is not sipped or savored … it is shot! Café cubano is at-least double the strength of American coffee. It is a daily morning ritual for Cubans and Cuban-Americans. At any time of day or night at the countless little Cuban restaurants that dot Miami, people line up for "jolts" of café cubano served in thimble-sized paper cups.“

„America was also part of the British tea drinking tradition, at least until Parliament's greed and disregard for the American colonists' rights allowed passage of the Stamp Act in 1765. The Americans boycotted English tea in 1767 and switched to smuggled tea and increased their consumption of coffee. The East India Company was hurt financially by the boycott so the British government gave it permission to sell tea without the tax. This tax-free tea was shipped to America in several ships and would have solved the "taxation without representation" protest but for the fact that American merchants were prevented from making profit.“

„31 /PRNewswire/ -- Just days after the tragedy, millions of Americans rallied to pledge their financial support -- over $18 million to the American Red Cross alone -- to help victims of the devastating tsunami that crushed the coasts of Southeast Asia and Eastern Africa. Sumatra, whose primary export is coffee, was one of the countries hit the hardest. Fonte Coffee Roaster, a small independent coffee roaster in Seattle, hopes to continue the donation efforts and rally the rest of the coffee community by joining coffee powerhouse Starbucks' efforts to support the tsunami relief. To that end, Fonte will donate $2 for each pound of Sumatra coffee purchased through the website at www.fontecoffee.com or by calling 1-88-FONTE until further notice.“

„Costa Rica has set the standards for fine wet-processed coffee for the rest of Central and South America. The most famous coffees by region are Tarrazu, Tres Rios, Herediá, and Alajuela. Most Costa Rican coffee comes from a hybrid called caturra and is characterized as bright and full bodied. Other popular varieties are Mondo Novo and Catuai. The best coffees, which are grown above 3,900 feet, are designated as "strictly hard bean". The "good hard bean" classification is given to coffees grown from 3,300 to 3,900 feet.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„The coffees of central Costa Rica comprise one of those classic origins that is respected but not fawned over. Although Costa Rica produces a variety of coffees, those that reach American specialty coffee menus usually are very high-grown Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) coffees from regions near the capital of San Jose in the central part of the country: Tarrazu, Herediá, Tres Rios, Volcan Poas. At best Costa Rica coffees from these regions are distinctive in a way that defies simple, romantic description. When good they are clean, balanced, and resonantly powerful.“
