The Costa Rica Gourmet Coffee Crop Report

Well its November 2008 and a great time to be in Costa Rica
to visit a local coffee farm. It's also harvest time for
most of Costa Rica and the initial gourmet coffee reports
are outstanding. Look for a very flavorful and smooth
coffee and tons of it. The best gourmet  coffees stem from
the jungles of Costa Rica. Costa Rican Coffees are known to
be full-flavored, with lively acidity, and are very
fragrant and tangy. Arabica is the only species of coffee
that Costa Rica sells. It is the sole source of fine coffee
and comes from a more delicate, higher-altitude tree and
grows at a lower temperature than the Robusta bean. The
higher the altitude, the finer the coffee will be. Arabica
coffees receive only 2 hours a day of direct sunlight. The
Arabica bean is harder and has a denser aroma. It is the
bean of choice for the gourmet coffee connoisseurs.

Costa Rican coffee has set the standards for fine
wet-processed coffee for the rest of Central and South
America.  The most famous coffees by region are Tarrazu,
Tres Rios, Heredi  (Barva), Alajuela and Alajuela
Poas Volcano. Single Origin Coffee: Estate or "varietal"
coffees are unblended coffees grown on specific estates or
farms in specific regions of Costa Rica.  With this
designation the consumer is made aware of coffee varietal
used, social practices and environmental practices (land
conservation, recycling, natural fertilizers & no chemical
sprays for example - like the Brava Estate Natural coffee)
employed in the production of their coffee. Costa Rica has
one of the widest ranges of microclimates, due to the
drastic change in altitude and climate over relatively
short distances. These differences in climatic factors
determine the flavor of the final cup.

Costa Rican coffee has set the standards for fine
wet-processed coffee for the rest of Central and South
America.  The regions famous for exceptional coffee are
Tarrazu, Tres Rios, Heredi , Alajuela and Alajuela
Poas Volcano.  Costa Rican coffee grown in a specific
region is also called a coffee appellation. Farmers are
saying the past summer weather conditions were perfect and
no adverse storms to factor in. Farmers are predicting the
best crop in years - both in quantity and quality. Farmers
are especially excited about the organic crops and the
highest grades of Tarrazu and Tres Rios coffees. The number
one select is supposed to be the most robust flavor it has
ever had. We are seeing huge coffee cherries everywhere we
go - report Samuel Diaz, an organic coffee farmer from the
Central Valley.

And farmers across all sections of Costa Rica are giving
the same excellent reports. Tres Rios which harvests in
December says the cherries are so full of coffee beans they
are sitting on the ground in many areas. The Tarrazu region
which harvests in November gives the same bountiful report.

The Brunca Region and Orasi regions which started
harvesting this month report huge crops. Their gourmet
coffee is getting rave reviews from local gourmet coffee
drinkers. Says Maria Sanchez - if this were wine we would
be putting Italy to shame. The West Valley starts
harvesting next week and the locals say the coffee will be
off the charts in every category.

Unfortunately many Costa Rican coffee brands are not 100%
pure regional coffee. This high quality Costa Rica coffee
is in short supply and is mixed in with other Costa Rica
coffee regions to increase the profits and raise the taste
quality. These brands should actually be called Costa Rica
Coffee Blends but pass themselves off as the real thing.
Costa Rica coffee is also used to elevate the quality of
many other gourmet coffee blends. So be sure your Costa
Rican coffee is labeled Tarrazu or Tres Rios not just Costa
Rican to be sure you are getting a pure estate coffee and
not a blended gourmet coffee.

Looks like 2008 will go down as a record year for Costa
Rica coffee. Considered by many to produce the world's best
overall gourmet coffee, now seems to be the time to try
your favorite Costa Rica coffee. Start looking in December
to reap the rewards of this excellent crop. Its got a great
flavor and very smooth this year with a huge harvest it
should be easy to find.

How to Steam Milk on Your Espresso Machine

The objective of milk steaming and foaming is to produce a
firm, semi-liquid velvety milk foam, ideal for cappuccinos
and lattes. This is achieved by the use of heat and air, by
way of steam.

Always use a stainless steel straight sided or
bell-bottomed jug for your milk frothing. Never use
plastic, glass or china jugs. Stainless steel offers good
heat transfer which is an essential part of the process.

Always use chilled fresh milk - milk will take in air
easier if it is cold. Full fat milk produces a denser,
longer lasting foam than low fat milk, but this is personal
preference.

Make sure the jug is half full or less, as the volume of
milk will double during the frothing process.

The first thing to do is to purge the steam wand of any
water residue, making sure that none of the steam jets are
blocked and position the wand so that it will allow the jug
to easily pass under the tip.

Centre the tip of the steam wand of your espresso machine
on the milk surface and submerge it by 1 cm (half an inch).

Turn the steam valve fully on.

Holding the jug in both hands, gently adjust the depth of
the wand tip until you hear a distinct "tssss tssss" sound
which indicates that air is being drawn into the milk. The
milk level should rise quickly as it expands or stretches.
As this happens, lower the jug slowly, keeping the tip just
below the surface at all times.

If the milk bubbles too fiercely and spits then the tip is
too high and you should raise the jug slightly, however if
you hear a screech then there is insufficient volume of
steam so you should lower the jug slightly.

During this process try to avoid breaking the surface of
the milk with the tip as this can introduce large bubbles
into the mixture and spoil its texture.

To complete the process, lower the tip of the steam wand
(by raising the jug) towards the bottom of the jug and at
the same time move the wand to one side of the jug. The
milk should start to swirl and you should here a high
pitched growl. This adds texture to the mixture as many
tiny bubbles are formed.

Continue to swirl the milk in this way until the side of
the jug is too hot to touch comfortably and the growl
becomes a low purr. Turn off the steam quickly with the
wand tip still submerged.

Remove the wand and wipe clean immediately.

Tap the jug on the counter and swirl the jug around gently.
You should have a jug of firm, velvety foam over hot
steamed milk.

Pour the mixture over an espresso by gently rocking the jug
from side to side to ensure the right combination of hot
milk and foam is delivered into the cup.

Enjoy.

Buying the Right Food Dehydrator for Large Quantities of Dehydration

Just choosing a product does not mean that it is the right
product for the task at hand.  When drying large quantities
of foods buying the right food dehydrator is crucial in
making sure food is dried correctly as well as quickly.
There are several different types of these appliances that
will dry large quantities with great quality.  These
appliances each have their own unique features as well as
their own space limits.

Beginners can even use these products used for larger
quantities because of the simplicity as well as complete
instructions which are included in most purchases. Having
the ability to dry larger quantities of foods may mean
paying a little bit more for each of these appliances.
However the money that will be saved in the long run is
well worth the initial cost of the product.  The Nesco
Gardenmaster Digital 1000 Watt Pro Food Dehydrator may be
the perfect product for those large food drying projects.
This appliance has it all including a top mounted fan which
means that there is no dripping into the heating chambers.
Also this particular product is digitally controlled and
this unit has the capacity to hold up to 20 trays to handle
large quantities at one time.

Most every food that is dried in this appliance can be
dried in less than 8 hours.  Another brand that provides
quality food drying is Excalibur and this brand has a 9
tray full size model that is great for larger quantities as
well.   With removable doors and trays and a one year
warranty buying the right food dehydrator may mean
purchasing this product. With larger quantities of food to
dry time is of the essence.  Some fruits and vegetables
have to be dried in a certain time frame after they are
picked to guarantee freshness. When drying green beans the
quantities may be extremely large depending on the harvest.
 It is also important that green beans are dried as soon as
possible to keep freshness and quality.  Some people may
need to have more than one of the largest appliances
available and if that is the case choosing these
dehydrators will mean choosing one that can handle large
quantities with easy clean up.

Drying foods is becoming more popular in saving on food
budget costs.  Those who have gardens will want to make
sure they purchase the right products to handle the loads
they will have at harvest time as quickly as possible.
Making sure food is dried at its freshest will give it
great taste when it is used later after it has been dried.
Drying foods is a great way to store it for some foods at
least 3 months and for other foods up to a year.

There is no doubt that the larger product that is purchased
the more food can be stored and even more money can be
saved.  When it comes to these products quality and
quantity go hand in hand in buying the right food
dehydrator.

Appreciating Today's One Cup Coffee Pots

Looking back at the history of coffee brewing may have some
people appreciating their single cup coffee makers more
than ever before.  The products of today not only allow
people to enjoy these beverages but enjoy them without a
lot of hassle to make them.

The first cups of Joe were not the easiest to make and
maybe not enjoyed as much as they are today.  Seeing how
far these products have come to brew a perfect cup every
time may have people wondering how their ancestors could
even drink what they called coffee.

Back in the 19th century a morning pot of Joe wasn't
exactly what it is today.  In fact many may be turned off
by how they had to drink it.  Boiling water on a stove top
may give a hope that something appetizing is going to be
made.  However for those drinking the first cups of Java it
is how they made it.  Once the water was boiling they added
the beans that were roasted and ground.   When the smell of
the coffee hit the air it was considered ready to drink.
This is how they made it before anytime of modernized
methods were produced.

The development of new modern methods came with the drip
brewing pot. Soon to follow that many products were using
vacuum systems to brew up a cup of Java.   Unlike the
single cup coffee makers of today these products were very
difficult to use for daily use.  They were mainly used to
allow people to enjoy a clear brewed cup.   The vacuum
systems heated the water in a low pitcher until it was
pushed into a thin tube into the upper pitcher that held
the coffee.   Once the lower pitcher was emptied the vacuum
would suck the coffee back down to be strained into lower
pitcher to be poured.   Taking a look back shows how
technology has pushed its way through when it comes to the
first cup of Joe in the morning. The next phase in brewing
growth came with the percolator.

The first patented version came out in Massachusetts in
1865.  Success came with these products due to the
invention and modifications in electrical safety that went
hand in hand with better tasting coffee.  Not only was it
better tasting but easier to make as well.  The design of
these percolators also made it easier for people to pour
safely and easily.  These products were found in almost
every home and were very popular.

Seeing where these great products have come from gives an
appreciation of what is available on the marker today.
Every product that can be purchased is safe and the tastes
of the products they brew are much more enjoyable.  Finding
grounds once in a while may be tolerable but drinking them
every time is unbearable for most people.  With many
different types of products for restaurants, families and
businesses these days brewing enough is easy.  When it
comes to one cup at a time it no longer has to be done on
the stove.  Making history is done these days when people
choose to purchase single cup coffee makers.

5 Top Reasons To Steep Loose Tea

Almost everyone in his or her lifetime has had a cup of
tea. Some folks drink it once in a while, while others
consume this beverage daily. Whether it be solely on
occasion, or every morning, afternoon, and evening, there
is only one true way to get the most from a cup of tea.

So, how are you preparing it? Is it loose leaf style, or
are you simply dunking a bag and getting what you think tea
really offers? If it is the latter, then this read may
prove insightful.

Loose leaf tea is without a doubt the best way to enjoy
tea...and for several reasons. Five of which we will
explore below.

1) Greater Health Benefits

Since loose tea consists of larger leaves it keeps more of
its powerful catechin antioxidants and plentiful plant
polyphenols. What does that mean?

You get more of the goodies that tea is noted for, health
benefits! Tea can help prevent certain cancers, lower blood
pressure and cholesterol, aid in weight loss, and boost the
immune system. Tea brewed by the bag contains fewer of
these properties.

Loose tea will always give you a healthier cup, and for
best results, it is recommended the leaves are brewed
within the first year...6 to 8 months preferred.

2) Better Aroma And Flavor

Loose tea has more surface area than the "tea dust"
(fannings) that go into bags. The larger the leaves, the
more natural oils you get to steep out of them, and this of
course means great flavor, along with a pleasant scent!

Loose leaf will have a nice fresh and clean taste, and
depending on the variety may taste sweet, floral, vegetal,
malty, or earthy along with many other distinct nuances.
Bagged tea will almost always taste bitter, old, stale,
fuzzy, and muddy, and will leave you with a funny aroma
that doesn't promise much. Bags will add a color to your
cup, but not much after that!

3) More Varieties To Explore

Another thing tea bag consumers suffer from is a lack of
variety. Folks will always be limited to what is offered on
the supermarket shelves, and while that may look like a
lot, you'll find yourself going through them pretty fast,
as well as finding many you do not fancy due to the number
two reason mentioned above.

Tea in general is broken into four main types, white,
green, oolong, and black. Each main classification yields
hundreds of varieties since many cultures around the world
cultivate and process them. And since a large percentage of
such varieties are loose, there will always be a new kind
of tea to discover.

This is often one of the biggest pleasures a true tea
drinker enjoys!

4) Loose Equals Freshness

A big advantage loose leaf has over bagged tea is the age
factor. In order for tea to have a good quality, it must be
young and fresh. Did you ever wonder how old those bags
are? If I told you they can sometimes be over 18 months
overdue, would that surprise you?

As mentioned, it is recommended that all tea is enjoyed
within the first 6 to 8 months of the flush. Even loose
leaf can go bad so it is important that you get steeping
after your purchase and avoid letting it linger.

5) Makes A Unique Gift

This is a different reason that sometimes slips past the
cracks!

Did you ever buy a tea gift basket for someone? Maybe you
got lucky and loose leaf tea was included, but if not, I
doubt you every got feedback on how great the bagged stuff
was.

Everyone loves gourmet food as a gift, and this beverage is
no different! Loose tea will always impress guests when
served, or make a friend or family member feel special when
received as a gift. Including some sample varieties along
with some steeping equipment is a perfect way to introduce
someone to this great beverage.

Who knows, they may start a new healthy habit and invite
you over one day for a cup!

Well, there are your five main reasons to chose loose tea
over the bags. They are not too expensive and remain
wallet/purse friendly. So the next time you're dunking a
bag in your mug, remember this article, and introduce
yourself to the true side of tea!

What is Organic Farming and is it Important

Organic farming is a broad concept with extreme
application. It is well appreciated on a large scale by the
people as now with the help of it they can easily grow
their own food. If you have a little bit of free time with
you then you need not to face any kind of problem. You can
prepare and serve good quality delicious food by doing
organic farming at your home.

It is not true that organic farming is practiced at a small
scale only. By having a trip of farming sector you can
easily understand how much vast this sector actually is.
This is not the case some time before. Few years back it
was not a highly thriving and demanding sector but now the
case has totally changed. It is now not limited to a small
scale industry as day by day more corporate sectors are
taking interest in this field. Large corporate farming is
taking keen interest in the concept of organic farming.
Continuous research is going on to find out the way by
which huge fields of a single crop can be grown. No one can
deny the fact that in the process of organic farming, pests
are believed to be the major threat. Due to harmful impact
on the biodiversity unnatural pesticides are not much
preferred to use.

If you are going for the natural pesticides for controlling
the pests then it is certainly an eco friendly approach but
believed to be much expensive in contrast to unnatural
ones. Some time before, due to expensive nature they were
not much preferred in the process of organic farming. After
the entrance of large scale industries with huge budget
this can be achieved now very easily. Natural pesticides
can be a good option when it is about the large scale
organic farming but if you are going for it at your home or
at a small scale in a separate piece of land then it is
advisable to look for any other good option. This is
because like other kinds of farming organic farming also
requires the process of sowing, cultivating and harvesting.
If you do not have proper arrangement of water for the
purpose of irrigation then you require depending largely on
the rain water. If you are concluding the process of
organic farming at your home then irrigation is not a big
issue but even at a small scale proper arrangement of water
is very essential. If you do not have a huge budget with
you then it can be a difficult work for you. You require
investing a good amount on purchase of seeds, irrigation,
fertilizers, harvesting, etc.

There is much debate till now on the use of unnatural
pesticides in the process of organic farming. Several
environmentalists and consumer protection organization have
claimed that the use of unnatural pesticides not only
damage the environment but also have an adverse impact on
the quality of food. For killing the insects and pests
these pesticides are used but they are not considered
helpful after sometime. It is so because these insects as
well as the pests easily get adapted to the effects of the
chemicals involved in them and so these pesticides looses
their worth. Sooner or later it damages the health of the
final consumer who without knowing consumes a large amount
of lethal chemicals and synthesized materials along with
the natural food. Thus it is injurious for the health of
the human being as well.

Thus there are several ways by which you can have your
favorite vegetables as well as fruits and that too with the
help of inorganic as well as organic farming. As there are
several pros as well as cons of both it is up to you to
decide the one that is best for you. You can make use of
organic farming to turn your dreams into reality and the
best part is it is already benefiting millions of people so
you are not at all required to worry for it as well.

The Great Redneck Cookout

One thing rednecks love to do: eat. It's an old tradition,
eating good filling meals with friends and a liberal dose
of beer or other lubricants added. Unfortunately, a lot of
rednecks have lost touch with the tradition of the pig
roast and the fish fry, a great excuse to cook
(destructively, as fire is often involved and sometimes not
in a good way) some really good food and shoot the bull
with your friends.

Both these great redneck traditions require one thing above
all: a reasonably safe place to do the cooking and the
gathering, preferably not close to anything flammable you
treasure like your house. And to do it right, you'll need
space for two different fires: a bonfire that everyone can
sit around and use to dispose of their trash, and a cooking
fire off to the side. This means the best place to set up
is generally in a woods clearing, and you don't want to do
it during a dry season.

Inviting people is the easiest part. Call a few friends and
tell them to bring a few friends who can also bring a few
friends - preferably female friends. It should be a BYOB
affair, as you don't want to pay for all that beer and you
also don't want the people who show up just for the free
booze.

Set your bonfire and cookfire up the night before. If there
are some good-size logs in the vicinity, pull them up;
people will come and sit on them. Scout around to get an
idea of parking issues, and if you're not familiar with the
area do a quick check for things like snakes and other
pesky critters that could interfere with your redneck party.

If you're doing a pig roast, you need to either butcher and
clean a pig yourself or get someone to do it for you.
Because the modern redneck tends to be a little more
squeamish than his forefathers, you'll probably want to do
the latter. Make sure there's some way to rig a suspension
right next to (not over) the fire so you can roast the pig.
Tradition dictates that you wrap the carcass in barb wire
and set it up between two trees very close to the fire, and
you need to be sure someone can turn the roast with a stick
so it cooks fairly evenly. It will roast for hours. For
safety's sake, get a meat thermometer and make sure it gets
to 185 degrees all over. Local barbecue sauce is optional.

There are plenty of options besides the barb-wire
technique. A Cajun microwave is an in-ground metal oven;
you put the pig in with any seasonings, bury the box up to
the lip, put the lid on, and build a fire on top. A lot of
people are using injections too, where they take whiskey or
marinades and inject them into the meatiest parts of the
roast every couple of hours. And then there are the
optional side dishes.

Fish fries are, surprisingly, easier and start out more
fun. Catch a mess of fish, and clean and chill them. You'll
need a big cooler to keep them in while you're preparing
them. Your cooking tools in this case are a turkey deep
frier (available in most outdoor stores and nearly
everywhere at Thanksgiving), about 20 gallons of peanut
oil, and enough of a ½ corn meal/ ½ flour /
salt and pepper breading mix to cover all your fish. Rinse
the fish, dip them in the breading, and drop them into hot
oil to cook. They're done when they float to the top, and
you can drain them redneck style by laying them out on a
sturdy screen. Bring along plenty of buns and tartar sauce.

Trade off cooking duties with friends, and spend the day
hanging out, listening to country music, chatting with your
friends, and eating some of your tasty concoctions.
Ideally, everyone should be able to park where bumpers and
tailgates make handy seats, and you definitely want to
encourage the talented rednecks in your group to bring
along guitars to sing some good country music. The only
other thing you're likely to need: plenty of ice for
chilling the beer that will show up.

Water Purifier

When it comes the time to decide on a water purification
system for your home, it would be alright to choose any
water purifier rather than not choosing any at all. Of
course, there are some differences among water purifiers.
Some water purifiers are more efficient or work better than
others.  Sometimes the difference in price does not
translate into a difference in quality. We have included
here some important information that can help you when
shopping around for the appropriate water system for your
home.

When choosing a water purification system, health and
safety should be essential elements to be taken into
consideration.  Public treatment installations try to
protect our health first of all through disinfection.

If you do not have a water treatment facility in your area,
then you should seriously consider the source of your water
before you decide on a water purifier.  There are usually a
number of pollutants in water that need to be dealt with
and consequently there are various steps that need to be
taken to accomplish that purpose. Public treatment
facilities use various steps to disinfect the water and you
may end up using more than one water purifier depending on
the source of your water.

For instance, in the rare occasion that your water is
obtained from a river or lake you need a thorough lake or
river-water purification. In that case, the total process
may include the following water purification systems:
reverse osmosis, selective filtration and distillation.
This is so because each water purification system focuses
on specific contaminants and fails to eliminate others.
Just look at the following analysis:

The water purifier that uses reverse osmosis to purify the
water removes inorganic contaminants that have a molecule
that is larger than the molecule of water. Reverse osmosis
water purifiers do not remove herbicides, pesticides, VOCs,
THMs or bacterial contaminants. You are more likely not to
use this purifier since your water source might not be a
lake or river, and consequently you can skip this step in
the process.  This step is completed at the public's water
purification program if your water comes from that source.

The water purifier that uses distillation does so in order
to kill bacteria, but if you boil the water you can get the
same effective results.  If your water comes from a
treatment facility, disinfection has already been done, and
E coli and other bacteria are not present, except in the
case of a massive storm or similar event.  Although,
bacteria in the spore step of evolvement would be present.

Water purification systems that are finicky use a selective
filtration or a variety of filtering media to get rid of
the different contaminants.  You need to check about the
quality, performance and steps used by the water purifier
before you buy it, since these elements will affect the
outcome regarding the removal of contaminants.  We can take
a look at one of the best water purifiers on the market
with a multi-stage system.  In the first step, activated
carbon granules remove chlorine, chemicals and disinfection
byproducts. After that, a multi-media block catches gaseous
contaminants, like THMs.  The public water purification
uses methods that cannot remove the bacterial cysts that
the sub-micron sized pores of the block remove. Ultimately,
the water is purified by passing it through and ion
exchange stage.

The ion exchange step removes lead and other metallic
contaminants by exchanging the ions of the contaminants for
potassium and sodium.  Through the addition of this last
step, the final outcome is an improved taste and
healthfulness due an improved mineral content and balancing
of the pH level.

Most homes only require the use of a selective filtration
water purifier, but in cases of floods or even heavy rains
E-coli bacteria may be present.  But usually, the public
water purification facility will inform the public in that
situation.  If that is the case, you would want to filter
the water first and then boil it.  Make sure you drink
healthy water.

Coffees From Around the World - Africa and the Middle East

We continue our short series on 'Coffees From Around the
World', with an article on the coffees from Africa and the
Middle East.

ETHIOPIA

Ethiopia is the true birthplace of coffee. The original
coffee plant originated here as well the first brew.
Ethiopia today is the fifth largest producer of coffee in
the world growing mainly the best arabicas. Ethiopian
dry-processed coffee (Harrar), tends to be medium-bodied
and strongly acidic with fruity, winy tones. The best
wet-processed coffee (Yirgacheffe) is light-bodied and has
distinctive floral and citrus notes. Dry processed 'Djimah'
is a popular bean that a exhibits medicinal taste. 'Ghimbi'
 is a wet-processed bean from western Ethiopia. Limu is the
market name for a well-respected fragrant, floral and
fruit-toned wet-processed coffee from south-central
Ethiopia.

UGANDA

As the 11th largest producer of coffee in the world, Uganda
has some fine arabica coffees which display the much
favoured winy acidity and other desirable flavour
characteristics of the best East African coffees. About 90%
of the coffees produced are of the robusta variety, which
are mainly used for blending and in the manufacture of
instant soluble coffee. The best Ugandan coffee is
'Bugishu' from the slopes of Mount Elgon.

IVORY COAST

As the third largest producer of coffee on the African
continent, the Ivory Coast grows mainly rich and strong
robustas used in soluble coffee production.

TANZANIA

Tanzania produces mostly robusta coffees much of it grown
on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro from which these
Kilimanjaro coffees get their name. Some arabicas are grown
further south in the country the best known of which is
'Mbeya' coffee. The best coffees from Tanzania have a full
body and rich flavour, with classic acidy that make them
resemble the best coffees of neighbouring Kenya.

CAMEROON

Due to its high altitude, rich volcanic soils and ample
rainfall coffees from Cameroon are of good quality. They
are full-bodied flavour with a well-rounded finish with
chocolate characteristics.

KENYA

Kenya produces excellent quality Arabica coffees that are
renowned for their consistent high quality. Although mainly
produced by smallholders the harvested beans are pooled and
processed under strict conditions by the Coffee Board of
Kenya. The beans are carefully graded by the board into
categories. PB or peaberry is considered the best, followed
by AA, A and B. Peaberry is unusual since the plant only
produces a single bean rather that two half beans.

Kenyan coffees have deep winy acidity with subtle fruit and
berry tones.

MADAGASCAR

The island of Madagascar produces over 700,000 bags of
coffee per year of both robusta and Arabica varieties.
It's most celebrated coffee 'Kouillou' has a highly
distinctive flavour and is rated very highly by the French.

YEMEN

The name 'Mocha' often synonymous with coffee comes from
the Yemen port of the same name, which was used as a main
trading point for coffee beans. Yemeni beans are known for
their rich, winy, aroma and strong chocolate tones.
