Café de Colombia - JUAN VALDEZ (#)

„Show up anywhere with him and the majority of the people are bound to point, yell out a greeting or come up and ask for his autograph. Maybe it's due to the fact that Juan's likeness has been an integral part of the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia's logo since it's introduction in 1981 (look on any 100% Colombian Coffee brand, print ad or commercial and you are certain to see the logo.) Or maybe it's due to Juan's various appearances in Colombian Coffee commercials (whether a cameo or appearing in the sign off, Juan Valdez is referenced in every Colombian Coffee commercial). Juan even appears in many print ads. Just check out the recent Grab Life by the Beans campaign and you'll see him hang gliding, surfing and snow boarding.“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee Crisis: TechnoServe Releases Fact-Based Industry Analysis (#)

„TechnoServe estimates that the effort to convert 2.6 million bags of commercial coffee to specialty coffee would cost approximately $50 million over a 5-year period, in order to: assess roaster needs; identify potential farmers; provide technical and business assistance; facilitate access to financing; and provide industry-level support.3 The effort would focus on supplying the gourmet/high-quality segment of the specialty market (which now comprises 93% of all specialty coffee sold), followed by Fair Trade-certified and other certified coffees, like organic, shade-grown and bird-friendly (currently 7% of all specialty coffee sold). Specialty initiatives should focus on Central America, Colombia, East Africa and Mexico, which together account for 86% of all specialty coffees produced in 2002.4“

Agriculture: Plant, Harvesting, Processing, Fertilization, and Diseases. (#)

„Coffee plants belong to the botanical genus Coffea in the family Rubiaceae, which has 500 genera and over 6,000 species. Although there is some disagreement, the number of species belonging to Coffea ranges from 25 to 100. Most commercial green coffee is either the C. arabica or C. canephora species, which is referred to commercially as Arabica and Robusta, respectively. Coffea arabica is an allotetraploid inbreeder (2n = 44). Forty to fifty cultivars (infraspecific taxa) are known, and are suspected to be derived from two cultivars of C.“

International Coffee Organization (#)

„An interesting survey of caffeine contents in cups of coffee was conducted in Canada (Stavric et al, reference below). Whether the coffee was prepared by housewives at home, for sale in commercial outlets, or by individuals at work, the mean caffeine content was about 80 mg per cup (about 350 mcg per ml). The means for roast and ground coffee, both drip and percolator brewed, were below 85 mg; for instant coffee 71 mg. However, the range of measurements was so wide that, for most individuals, it would be inaccurate to use these figures as a basis for calculating the exact amount of caffeine consumed in a day.“

- Coffee Science Information Centre (#)

„There is no real evidence to show exactly when, or how, it was first discovered that a rich and stimulating brew could be made from the bean (or seed) within the fruit of the coffee bush, but it is thought that before coffee was ever appreciated as a beverage, native people may have chewed the ripe cherries and beans as food. There is evidence to suggest that coffee trees were cultivated in monastery gardens 1,000 years ago, and commercial cultivation followed, although the first reports of this, from the Yemen, were not recorded until the fifteenth century.“

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

„Most of the coffees discussed on this website are specialty coffees. From the consumer's viewpoint, the most immediately noticeable difference between commercial and specialty coffees is packaging: Commercial coffee comes in little bottles of instant or is already ground and packed in a tin or a collapsed, plastic-encased brick. Specialty coffee is stored or delivered as whole beans, either in one-pound bags or in bulk, and needs to be ground before it is brewed.“
