The Coffees of Hawaii

The Coffees of Hawaii ()

  „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. If you love these intense coffees, Kona may seem too light, too simple, too mild.“

  „Essentially the imbalance in the market was caused by excessive new planting of coffee in the mid 1990s following a price rise caused by a frost in Brazilian coffee areas in 1994. Subsequently Brazil has been able to maintain high levels of production with the help of a continued depreciation of the local currency against the dollar while Vietnam's production has also increased substantially, mainly because production costs are very low as a result of high yields arising from intensive care of coffee trees coupled with substantial use of fertilizers.“

  „All this work resulted in the coordination and execution of the Brazilian Gourmet Coffee Project of the International Coffee Organization. This project is being implemented by international consultants in quality and marketing, and it is financed by the Common Fund for Commodities and managed by the International Trade Center, an entity of the World Trade Organization. The main objective of this project is the sustainable development of quality, thus obtaining substantially higher prices for a proportion of the Brazilian production.“

  „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.“
