Tea & Coffee 01/02 - Coffee in Asia: A World Cup (#)

Today, southeast Asia could be known as a “coffee capital,” with chains such as Starbucks, San Francisco Coffee, and Coffee, Bean & Tea Leaf introducing the new lifestyle of specialty coffee to the welcoming local population.

What started in the Northwest in small sheds bought at the home improvement store, is evolving into one of the industry’s fastest growing service-delivery models.

It's All About Coffee

  „There are many different methods, and all are capable of brewing beverages that can qualify as specialty coffee, but only if done correctly. The right recipe of coffee to water, the right grind suited to the method and the coffee's physical characteristics, the proper water temperature and contact time, a good preparation of the coffee "bed" or "cake" are all fundamentals that must be satisfied to produce a specialty cup of coffee.“

Virtual Coffee: A Review of the Sustainable Coffee Conference, Denver

  „The last session of the day, "Industry at theCrossroads," shared the perspectives of industries and foundations concerned withsustainable coffee. Speakers from Cafes de Alta Calidad de Mexico (specialty coffees ofMexico), the Coffee Kids foundation, Equal Exchange and Starbucks suggested a directionfor the coffee industry to move toward as we approach the 21st century. Given thecomplexity of issues discussed, it is not surprising that some participants felt morequestions were raised than answered. Providing future forums to answer those questions andexamine new ones is high on the agenda, and the SCAA Environment Committee andInternational Relations Committee are considering the next appropriate gathering.Additionally, several producing countries have already come forward to express interest inhosting sustainable coffee forums.“
