CoffeeGeek - Bean There, Roasted That, Part One (#)

  „ This is one of the most demanding tasks but can also lead to great excitement when an exceptional and unusual offering is discovered.  Very few small coffee roasters purchase beans directly from producers and when they do it is usually the result of personal relationships developed over a period of time.  Often the road from producer to roaster is a long one involving many middlemen and thousands of miles of transport.  Most coffee beans are bought from brokers or merchants who specialise in coffee.“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee: General Discussion, Freshness of Green Beans

  „ The accepted life cycle of a green bean is usually about one year, and when a new crop is available, any coffee left over is then referred to as "past crop".  How the green coffee is processed by the grower is also of great effect.  Terms like "natural", "washed", and "semi-washed" are all used to describe different methods of cleaning and drying green coffee before it is bagged and sold.  The drying method will also have great effect on the "life" of the green coffee.“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee: Home Roasting Talk, Dog ever eat your green beans?

  „may be of interest to you! Just search for "cocoa" and there's an article that explains the dangers of cocoa bean mulch to dogs (apparently the same substances exist in both coffee beans and chocolate beans that can harm animals: namely, methylxanthines theobromine and caffeine) .It's interesting that the effects in animals are widely varied... may explain your dog's lack of reaction!“

CoffeeGeek - Regional: Australia, New Zealand and Asia, Fair trade?

  „If I were you I would go to the roasters and ask them where they get their beans from. remember Fairtrade is a brand which means you have to be certified to use the word (it also means loads of fairly traded coffee gets less support because there are only so many people Oxfam can help in the world)“
