  „If you all are still interested in trying some fair trade coffees, use google to look up Brazilian DaTerra. Not only is it a fair trade coffee, but it is also certified by IQnet, which is a worldwide certification organization that makes sure the beans are grown in certain guidelines and standards. I've had a little of it myself and it is quite enjoyable. Like so many other Central and South American coffees, this Brazilian has a nutty taste almost like fresh roasted peanuts.“

  „The assertion 100% Arabica, rare in Brazilian coffee packages, guarantees that the beans used are picked from trees of the Rubiaceae family, genus Coffea, species Coffea arabica, known over centuries for producing an aromatic beverage, with intense flavor, naturally sweet and slightly acid.“

  „If you use Colombian, Costa Rican, Nicaraguan, or Kona as a base instead of Brazilian you add flavor, but lose some crema so you'd need to add more dry-processed beans like Sumatran or Ugandan. Then you can add some lighter flavored beans like Papua New Guinea, Costa Rican Tarrazu, Kenya AA or Ethiopian Yrgacheffe to balance the blend with lighter hints of flavor. They’ll taste great, but won't produce as much crema as the Brazilian-based drinks will. The Costa Rican Doka makes an especially good base among these choices because of its extra body.“

Green Coffee Classification Green Coffee Classification

  „In the Brazilian method 300 grams of coffee is classified.  The number of beans equivalent to one full defect is given below.  For example, a set of three shells counts as one full defect.  On the other hand one large rock counts as five full defects.  If a bean has more than one defect the highest defect is counted.  For example, a bean that is black and damaged by insects counts as one full defect due to its black attribute.  The table is split up into two since Brazilian legislation allows a maximum of 1% of foreign defects.  After counting the number of defects use the third chart to classify the type and its point rating.“

  „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.“
