„Given the importance of the overstory to avian foragers in our plantations, it is not surprising that canopy dwellers were less abundant in the absence of a canopy in nearby sun coffee plantations (Wunderle and Latta 1996). For instance, of the 9 species that foraged exclusively in the Inga overstory, seven (Black-cowled Oriole, Black-whiskered Vireo, Greater Antillean Pewee, Hispaniolan Lizard Cuckoo, Palm Chat, Northern Parula, Black-and-white Warbler) were absent from point counts in sun coffee; Hispaniolan Woodpeckers were present in the sun coffee, but significantly less frequently; and Black-crowned Palm Tanagers were less frequent in sun coffee, but not significantly. Our observations indicate that nectarivores (Vervain Hummingbird, Hispaniolan Emerald, Antillean Mango, Bananaquit, Cape May Warbler) mostly fed on Inga flowers in the shade plantations, and as expected in the absence of flowering, each showed significantly lower abundance in sun coffee. Insectivores that fed mostly in the Inga, but descended into the coffee were also found in the sun coffee at counts equivalent to (American Redstart, Broad-billed Tody), or significantly higher (Black-throated Blue Warbler) than counts in shade plantations.“

Best of Panama 2004 Cupping at Royal Coffee Emeryville
„So the next best thing is to get the samples and roast them in my own lab (er, more like the cupping closet since its a bit overcrowded and small these days). But we also gathered at Royal Coffee's elegant and spacious cupping room to evaluate the coffees prepared on a JB sample roaster, as opposed to my own air roast samples.“

Indian coffee board- monthly magazine- Quality Circle- CUPPING - A Vital Tool
„Another helpful tool, particularly if you are cupping in a training context for your staff, is Jean Lenoir's Le Nezdu Café, also available from the SCAA website for US$ 350.00. whilst this figure might sound heart stopping in the first instance, it is well worth it, particularly for trainers wishing to make cupping interesting and fun for new staff from a non-coffee background. The kit comprises 36 scent bottles that contain some of the most common aromas to be found in coffee.“
