„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.“

View topic - Canadian shop called Second Cup coffee beans .... opinions? - Coffee Forum
„For all Canadian "coffee nuts", I would like to know if anyone is using coffee beans from SECOND CUP coffee store? I use an Arabica bean that they have called "PARADISO" (black & brown beans), and I find it quite good. It seems to be the right amount of caffeine for me.“

„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.“

India coffee - Indian Coffee, monthly magazine - The Social Dimension-what price the good bean
„But as every origin worth its caffeine tries to find the optimal blend of functional and emotional appeals for its sales pitch, in the current context when 'ethics' and 'traceability' are considered important, Indian coffee growers might just as well present their credentials. And reveal the real value of the Indian coffee bean.“
