„Much of the famous New Orleans coffee was Rio coffee, with chicory added, and some coffees dark-roasted in the United States today for the Latin taste may still include Rio coffee. This is because Latins, who drank the cheap, Rioy-tasting natural coffees at home while the more expensive, washed milds were being sold to the United States, may still crave a bit of the old home-country harshness in their dark-roast blends.“

World Bank Group | Agriculture & Rural Development | Executive Summary - Coffee Markets: New Paradigms in Global Supply and Demand (#)

„First, the coffee roasting and retail industries have made profits by developing new products and by taking advantage of various value-adding activities, such as marketing, branding, differentiation, and flavoring. As an example, the recent expansion of demand for soluble coffee, which is among the most profitable parts of the business, has enabled the industry to capture increased value from less expensive raw materials, such as robusta coffees. Second, the noncoffee components included in the retail price of coffee, such as wages, packaging, and marketing, have grown and now represent a much more significant share of the total retail price than the actual coffee itself. Interestingly, a number of countries that import coffee earn billions of dollars annually in taxes from it.“

Sulawesi (#)

„Many consider Sulawesi to improve on the flavor of Sumatran coffee with a lighter body, smooth buttery qualities, and higher acidity.  The Toraja region is the source of most of the high quality Sulawesi coffee.  One may find coffee from the Toraja region marketed as Kalossi since this is the old colonial Dutch name for this region.  The complex and earthy flavors are in high demand in Japan and the United States causing it to be more expensive than coffees from the neighboring islands.“

:: Dealing With Decaf :: (#)

„"We then use a series of activated carbon filters to remove all the caffeine from the flavour-charged water, and it can be used again for the next batch of beans. It's a remarkably efficient process, and an expensive one, not least because of the strict caffeine monitoring involved." So, how are other coffees decaffeinated, then? "Typically, coffee is decaffeinated through a variety of more chemically-reliant, severe processes involving substances like Methylene Chloride, Supercritical Carbon Dioxide or Ethyl Acetate. In fact, Ethyl Acetate is a natural substance found in fruit but, like the other chemical processes, it can leave a distinctive aftertaste that most coffee drinkers can detect." Thanks for the Ewan.“

„The Yauco coffees of Puerto Rico represent a successful revival of an origin famous in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but long unavailable owing to high labor costs and other problems. Puerto Rico Yauco is also an expensive coffee, though not nearly so as Blue Mountain. Haiti is another famous gourmet coffee of the 19th century now undergoing a revival, in this case a revival crucial to the economic and environmental recovery of Haiti from the destruction caused by recent political disorders. Finally, the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, produces a variety of coffees that are little-known and perhaps under-appreciated.“

International Coffee Organization (#)

„Coffee first arrived in the Dutch colony of Surinam in 1718, to be followed by plantations in French Guyana and the first of many in Brazil at Para. In 1730 the British introduced coffee to Jamaica, where today the most famous and expensive coffee in the world is grown in the Blue Mountains. By 1825, South and Central America were on track towards their coffee destiny. That date is also important as it was when coffee was first planted in Hawaii which produces the only US coffee, and one of the finest.“
