The Coffees of Hawaii (#)
„clean, pleasant, mild, good aftertaste. This is a notion of "good coffee" handed down from a time when low-grade coffee was called Brazil Rio and it had a seriously foul, dirty taste (so distinctly awful it is still called Rioy in defective coffee terminology). The best coffees were considered the polar opposite; island coffees -- mild, delicate and clean. Certain Specialty Coffees we now appreciate as intense and desirable cups, Yemeni coffees, Ethiopian Harar, Dry-processed Sumatras for example, would be considered terrible in this definition.“

„Kona, on the southwest coast of Hawaii, thelargest island of the Hawaiian chain, produces the most famous and the most traditional ofHawaiian coffees. Coffee has been grown in smaller quantities elsewhere on the islandssince the early days of European settlement, but encouraged by the impending closure ofsugar and pineapple plantations and the tourism-induced popularity of Hawaiian coffee,large commercial concerns now have established plantations on the islands of Kauai andMolokai. Similar efforts soon may follow on other islands.“

Brazilian Scientists Decode the Coffee Genome - National Coffee Association
„New genetically resistant plants hold the promise of doubling coffee production per hectare, from 15 to 30 bags. At the same time, these plants would enable Brazil to cut production costs by 20 percent. Together, these factors could raise annual national production to 60 million bags without the expansion of its current growing area.“

„Néstor Osorio, was invited to participate at the inauguration of the coffee meeting held by the Brazilian coffee roasters' association, ABIC, in the State of Bahia, Brazil this month. At this meeting, the ABIC presented a progress report on its quality programme, and revealed that domestic consumption of coffee in Brazil in 2003/04 had risen to 14.3 million bags. In his address, the Executive Director highlighted the success of Brazil in promoting domestic consumption and noted that the ICO had taken this experience as a basis for promotion in other producing countries. In this context, the ICO has sponsored a manual prepared by a Brazilian consultancy which gives detailed practical information on how to encourage consumption in producing countries.“

„Possibility of creating classes to educate the public about various coffee topics including general coffee topics and specific topics about Hawaiian coffee. Another possibility is to have a barista competition. Also looking into culinary schools to educate about Hawaiian coffees. The desire is to look at ways to promote Hawaiian coffees on the mainland.“
