The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„A prolonged recession in Japan (Japan supported Jamaica coffee prices by buying Blue Mountain heavily) and a general, worldwide plunge in coffee prices has the Jamaica Blue Mountain industry in trouble. At the same time, the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica has embarked on an unprecedented experiment by allowing several farmers to wet-process their Blue Mountain on their farms and export their coffees as separate and distinct estate coffees, rather than as generic Blue Mountain. These new estate Blue Mountains include Alex Twyman's Old Tavern Estate, and the RSW Estates, a group of three family-owned farms that wet-process their coffees at a common mill. All of these estate coffees are processed using the traditional ferment-and-wash technique, rather than the mechanical demucilage method used to process generic Blue Mountain.“

Café de Colombia - QUALITY OF LIFE (#)

„The Coffee Fund is supported directly by the growers and indirectly by consumers of Colombian Coffee with special contributions levied on coffee exports. Under Colombian legislation, resources derived from these contributions must be reinvested for the benefit of the coffee growers and development of the coffee industry. The Coffee Fund protects the grower by providing valuable income stabilization via the domestic minimum support price. For instance, when prices of Colombian Coffee in the international market (Colombian International Price) plummeted in the early 1990’s, the Coffee Fund’s resources guaranteed that growers received the Domestic Minimum Price for their crop, thus covering the $1.5 billion shortfall and shielding them from potentially devastating effects.“

Green Coffee Storage Issues (#)

„With coffee being the second most traded commodity in the world, youmight think that the coffee industry, especially the specialty coffee industry,would have green coffee storage down to a science. The truth of the matter,however, is that storage and shipping conditions can still make a big differencein the overall cup quality of a coffee. "It surprises me a lot,"says one roaster, "you would think the storage companies would havethis stuff down cold." There are varying opinions among coffee storageexperts both about what is in fact necessary for storing green coffee,and about what the ideal conditions for storing coffee are.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Unfortunately, as the millennium comes to a close, the remarkable run of success achieved by the Kenya coffee industry appears about to dissolve under the pressures of the global market and the deceptive one-size-fits-all open-market ideology of the international financial establishment. Pressured by a global coffee glut and low coffee prices, Kenya may be about to abandon the auction system and allow farmers and exporters to cut their own deals with buyers. In the view of those who should know, both American and Kenyan, the end of the auction system probably will mean the end of the Kenya coffee industry as world leader in quality, as discipline and clarity are lost and hype begins to replace quality.“

As a result, Fair Trade has emerged as the fastest growing segment of the specialty coffee industry.“

„"We are very pleased because the auction has surpassed all our expectations," said Roberto Bendana of Nicaragua's Specialty Coffee Association. "In spite of the price crisis, this success should inject some enthusiasm back into the coffee industry here." Peru, Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador and Costa Rica have applied to join the auctions, but first have to meet high production standards. "What we want to show producers is that if you offer quality you get high prices," said Mr Hurst. "Last week's Guatemalan auctions raised about $500m, which goes straight back to the farmers."

„The second most widely consumed beverage after water provides comfort, taste, and solace to those who drink it.

In fact, there is a direct correlation between those who drink coffee at the local café today and the women who met and socialized at the well where they collected water hundreds of years ago.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Given the brutally low prices being paid to farmers for their coffee at this moment in history, it is difficult to be critical of a concept like Fair-Trade certification. Larger farms are threatened with bankruptcy, peasant farmers with starvation, and the American specialty coffee industry with deteriorating supplies of fine coffee. Fair Trade is one response to this crisis. A Fair-Trade seal certifies that a coffee has been produced by a democratically run cooperative of small-holding farmers who have received a fair price, derived by formula, for their coffee.“

„If actual travel to origin is beyond your capability--and I realize that for many people it is--learn as much as you can through research. As the specialty coffee industry evolves, I notice that more and more emphasis is put on single-origin coffees. Whereas 10 years ago specialty coffee was largely thought of by the general buying public as hazelnut flavored beans grown in some undisclosed location or Uncle Zany's Midnight Blend, consumers now shop more actively for coffee by origin. As a production roaster this translates to higher definition of your craft.“

„Ethiopia's problems are relatively simple to understand. Because the Ethiopian coffee industry, like many others, depends mainly on the work of small-holding farmers with virtually no access to technology and a limited supporting infrastructure (most Ethiopia farmers literally must carry their coffee to the mill on their heads), production costs are relatively high. And, as we know, prices paid farmers for green coffee are now at an all-time low. Which means that, for Ethiopia, income from the sale of coffee simply does not cover the total cost of production.“

Although France guarded its New World coffee plantations to prevent cultivation from spreading, the lady said good-bye to Palheta with a bouquet in which she had hidden cuttings and fertile seeds of coffee.“
