Indian coffee board- Coffee : From Mocha to Mysore : A Coffee Journey (#)

  „Leo Coffee owes its inception in 1910 to P R K Nadar, when the Little Flower and Santa Maria Estates in the Palani hills, run by missionaries, asked for help in selling coffee in the local market. Narasu's started operations in 1919, and by 1929 had established a large roastery at Salem. Both catered to the almost insatiable appetite for coffee amongst upperclass Tamilians, a tradition vividly expressed by R K Narayan in The 'Vendor of Sweets. In 1924, MTR set up shop at Lalbagh Fort Road, Bangalore, and out-of-home coffee got a new dimension.“

December 200 Tiny Joy, a home coffee roasting newsletter from Sweet Maria's Coffee

  „While I like to have fun with reviews, I stick to the facts. You wont read about a coffee experience being "running through a field of flowers" or such useful advise as "this is a coffee for people who watch the X-Games" on our site (but these are quotes from others coffee reviews). And frankly, it’s not a sin if I did write like that, or if that is how a coffee drinker feels about a coffee. In fact, if enjoyment such as this is not allowed to be interpretive and creative (and even in its most technical it is) it is at that point it becomes chest-thumping and preposterous.“

GREEN Unroasted COFFEE Home Coffee Roasting- Sweet Maria's Web Log

  „The recent Oxfam International report on the world coffee market and the effect of abysmal prices paid to farmers is the first study to make an accurate survey of the situation and suggest a course of action. To read their press release, click here . But you really need to download the full report (a PDF file) to adequately understand the situation. Also, take time to read Kraft and Nestle's responses to the indictments against the "big 4" coffee companies...they also make some good points.“
