  „Stylish new Espresso and Americano organic Fairtrade coffees are being launched by Percol into Waitrose and Budgens supermarkets from June. Made from pure arabica beans, these high roast coffees are designed to appeal to a younger market than Percol’s current Fairtrade coffee range. Equal Exchange also have new origin organic coffees from Colombia and Indonesia, in distinctive gold packaging, and the first Fairtrade organic sugar, which comes from a co-operative in Paraguay.“

  „For coffee sold with the FAIRTRADE Mark, coffee growers get a fair price, currently double the global market price for arabica beans and triple for robusta beans. Under conventional agreements, they get just over half what it actually costs to grow the beans, meaning that they are effectively subsidising our coffee drinking.“

Coffee around the World... - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada

  „It is a significantly larger arabica bean named for the region and its rainy season which contributes to the beans' higher moisture content. To create a "monsooned" crop, the green coffee is warehoused in an open structure protected from rain while moist tropical air blows through the storage area. In a 2 to 3 month period, the beans absorb moisture, losing a degree of natural acidity and at roast time, a richer yet mellower beverage results.“

Supermarket Coffee vs. Specialty Store Coffee

  „Before I was an arabica whole bean convert, I once considered if these beans were worth the vast difference in price, which is as much as $3.00 to $7.00 more per pound than canned supermarket varieties. Surely the cost difference alone is enough to make one seriously reconsider any compelling reasons to switch to whole bean coffee. If you are a coffee lover, as I am, who savours the whole coffee making and drinking experience, then the answer is a resounding yes!“

illy caffè North America

  „illy carefully roasts its coffee to the optimum level to bring out all the flavors inherent in the bean. illycaffè purchases only Arabica beans for its blend and sorts the beans using electronic instruments which evaluate the color and automatically reject beans that are either too green or overripe. About 50 coffee beans are needed to produce one cup of espresso, and only one bad bean can ruin its flavor. In order to better balance the aroma, illycaffè prepares the blend from nine different lots of Arabica before roasting and uses an air cooling system versus the more common water cooling system.“
