Counter Culture Coffee - Coffee Driven People, People Driven Coffee (#)

„This is a skill that is mastered after many years of working on the farms. The higher the altitude of the farm, the slower the new growth develops. The rainy season has started here and it has awakened the coffee trees. This is one of the most beautiful stages of the coffee process. Flowering coffee trees are a stunning spectacle. The main flowering only last 2 to 3 days and after that we will see around 2 more flowerings, which are not as intense. When the main flowering is at its pinnacle, Mauritania looks like it has been hit by a snowstorm. Arabica coffee plants are primarily self-pollinating, but bee pollination is much more important than we thought. Bee pollination can double a coffee crop’s yield. These busy bees help us on our farms by turning each flower into healthy cherries, usually containing two coffee beans each. Of course these “workers” don’t get the recognition they deserve. As the flowers begin to fall, tiny coffee cherries begin to emerge. Now we let nature take its course. In next month’s issue, I will share with you the replacing and pruning of the shade trees, how we make our natural compost, and I will give you an update on the size of the coffee cherries. Until then… saludos desde El Salvador.“

Coffee Glossary (#)

„In one sense, all of your three samples are distinctive, because they probably embody the best and most characteristic traits of the growing region from which they came. In another sense the Yemen Mocha and Sumatran could be seen as much more distinctive than the Mexican, simply because the Mexican embodies what for North Americans is a version of the normative coffee taste, whereas the other two coffees have characteristics that set them off from that norm. The rich, winey acidity of the Yemen Mocha immediately suggests that it is either a Yemen coffee or a good Ethiopian, for example; the heavy body and rich finish of the Sumatran identifies it as a good Indonesian coffee. It would be difficult to distinguish the Mexican coffee from a Peruvian, for example, or from any one of several other Latin American coffees.“

It's All About Coffee (#)

„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.“

„It were the Dutch who started to farm coffee in Java 1697 and 1719 the first shipment of javacoffee reached Europe. Soon thereafter coffeefarming started in Ceylon, Southeast Asia and on the island of Bourbon (now Reunion Island). The coffeebush reached Paris via a botanic garden in Amsterdam. A french seaofficer, De Clieu took a plant from this bush and carried it with him across the Atlantic ocean (somehow the coffeeplant survived) to the Westindies and it was this plant who was the "grandmother" to the grandious coffeeplantations in Central and South America. The rest is - history.The coffeehousesThe coffeehouses were the first place where people learned about the brew.“

International Coffee Organization (#)

„The first Coffee Control Conference in September 1940, arranged by the Government, recommended that the private marketing of coffee in India should be prohibited and replaced by marketing by an authority - the Coffee Board. Producers were then obliged to surrender their produce to the Board which in turn sold the coffee through domestic and export auctions. The growers received their remuneration based on the average sales realization. Besides marketing, the other functions of the Board were promoting the sales and consumption of coffee in India and elsewhere; promoting agricultural research; development; improvement of quality and other management.“

JAMA -- Abstract: Coffee consumption and coronary heart disease in women. A ten-year follow-up, February 14, 1996, Willett et al. 275 (6): 458 (#)

„After adjustment for age, smoking, and other CHD risk factors, we found no evidence for any positive association between coffee consumption and risk of subsequent CHD. For women drinking six or more cups of caffeine-containing coffee per day in 1980, the relative risk was 0.95 (95% confidence interval, 0.73 to 1.26) compared with women who did not consume this beverage. Similarly, there was no association when the first 4 years of follow-up were excluded, when nonfatal and fatal CHD end points were examined separately, or when we updated coffee consumption in 1984 or 1986 and examined only CHD during the next 2-year interval. Further, there was no association with caffeine intake from all sources combined or with decaffeinated coffee consumption.“

„The process usually involves treating the freshly roasted beans with chemical flavourings (sometimes natural, and sometimes not). The fact that the coffee is processed with chemicals is a point against them. Since they are going to be treated anyway, quite often the beans are not of the highest quality and the roasting is haphazard. In other words, it may be a delicious drink, but it's still poor coffee.“

„This means coffee pickers are usually working at the trees during the day and delivering to the mill or receiving stations in the evening. The coffee cherries are tipped into large tanks of water where the first separation of quality occurs: FLOATERS The cherries which float are empty or immature and do not yield high quality coffee. SINKERS The cherries which sink are excellent and ripe, perfect for processing into high quality coffee Our mill works on a binary system which processes the sinkers along a totally different path than the floaters. The cherries are then passed through a pulping machine which squishes out two coffee seeds.“

History of Coffee from Coffee Universe (#)

„Monks hearing about this amazing fruit, dried the berries so that they could be transported to distant monasteries.They reconstituted these berries in water, ate the fruit, and drank the liquid to provide stimulation for a more awakened time for prayer. Coffee berries were transported from Ethiopia to the Arabian peninsula, and were first cultivated in what today is the country of Yemen. From there, coffee traveled to Turkey where coffee beans were roasted for the first time over open fires. The roasted beans were crushed, and then boiled in water, creating a crude version of the beverage we enjoy today.“

„My father started my professional coffee training even before I became a devoted coffee drinker. I was only 12 years old when I was studying for a classroom presentation about coffee—the different botanical varieties and the taste profiles of arabica, robusta and liberica. At age 14, while working in my dad's retail store, I was already making a serious effort to convert 80-year-old ladies to freshly roasted Guatemala Maragogype. ("Ma'am, I can recommend a freshly roasted, very mild and mellow after-dinner, low-caffeine coffee that will make you sleep like a nightingale.")“

„Coffee did not simply transform the Costa Rican economy and its landscape, it also changed consumer behavior and working patterns. The development of a taste for coffee was, perhaps, a reflection of the democratic society that was being forged. In the words of historians Peters and Samper, "Drinking coffee became a ritual of Costa Rican society, a society that was free of economic and social distinctions; everyone drank it, from the simplest farmer or laborer to the most prominent politician."“

Tea & Coffee 06/04 - Coffee as Health Food? (#)

„Coffee, in fact, has four times the antioxidant content of green tea, according to a study conducted in Switzerland by the Nestle Research Center and recently published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. The study found that coffee also outruns cocoa, herbal teas and red wine. Of course, precise antioxidant content varies from cup to cup, depending on the type of bean (Robustas have twice the antioxidants of Arabicas, although the difference is reduced in the roasting process) and the level of “solubles” in the cup, determined by the brewing method, time and amount of coffee used.“

World Bank Group | Agriculture & Rural Development | Coffee Markets: New Paradigms in Global Supply and Demand, March 2004 (#)

„Since 1970, prices have averaged a 3 percent per year price decline for arabica coffees and a 5 percent decline for robusta. Nicaragua provides a stark example of the impact: Between 1998 and 2001 poverty rates increased by more than 2 percent among those farmers who remained in the coffee sector. In contrast, poverty rates among rural households as a whole fell by more than 6 percent. A similar picture emerges for primary school enrollment rates—falling by 5 percent for households that stayed in the coffee sector and increasing by 10 percent among all rural households.“

„: With very few exceptions, all our coffees are the top grade produced by the exporting country and are current crop if it is available yet. We buy coffee continuously and our stock is fresh! No coffee we have is "past crop." If I sometimes do not include the grade (SHG, SHB, Gr 1, Gr.5 -Ethiopia DP, AA, etc) or thecrop year in the description, it's safe to assume it is top grade and current, because I always include the grade if it isn't! Grading can be very confusing; HG isthe top Mexican grade but HG is the 2nd grade in Nicaragua.“

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

„It is also a very labor intensive process involving a vast intercontinental collaboration that starts with the coffee grower, moves from there to the picker, then to the mill workers who meticulously remove the fruit and dry the beans, then to those who clean and grade the beans, to those who roast them, to those consumers and baristas who finally grind the beans and prepare the beverage. Every act along the way can be performed either with passion and precision or with careless shoddiness. It is the cumulative quality of all of these creative contributions that together make the difference between a lackluster cup and a fine and distinctive one.“

„Purists would say, ‘Well, these aren’t white teas.’ They are trying to make something from the wrong varietal.” It is important to note that this idea of “traditional” does not exclusively pertain to white tea. The case can be argued for any tea or coffee associated with a specific geographical region. It is also important to note that one who is a “purist”—an inherently subjective term—is not against the expansion of white tea growing areas. As a specialty tea retailer, tea purchasing is a choice and the tea you stock should reflect your personal preferences.“

„We searched high and low to find a Colombian coffee in the traditional style- a throwback to a time when Colombians were truly great. We found the Condor cooperative, a group of small farmers growing only the heirloom Typica coffee varietal, in the traditional manner, under heavy indigenous shade. The result is an amazing glimpse of what Colombian coffee was like years ago- sweet, mild, and balanced, with a solid character and honeylike aftertaste.“

„Acidity, Acidy, Acid. Usually, the pleasant tartness of a fine coffee. Acidity, along with flavor, aroma, and body, is one of the principal categories used by professional tasters in cupping, or sensory evaluation of coffee. When not used to describe cup characteristics, the term acidity may refer to pH, or literal acidity, or to certain constituents present in coffee that ostensibly produce indigestion or nervousness in some individuals. “

„In everyday conversation, "acidity" may sound unappealing, but in coffee terms it's actually a highly desirable quality. Not to be confused with the ph level, "palate acidity" is the brightness of flavor -- without it, coffee tastes flat and dull. All good coffees have some acidity, but to varying degree. Acidity in our coffees ranges from low (smooth) to high (lively).“
