Latin American Coffee Production - Compred To The World

Rare blend

This is one of the rarest coffee blends in the world. Haiti coffee is hard to find basically because it is not grown as widely as other coffee granules in the Latin American regions. One of the main reasons is of course the weather in the country. Haiti is frequently awash with rain, not to mention the political turmoil that has beset the country for quite some time.

Despite its rarity, Haitian coffee still enjoys huge following perhaps because of the tanginess and sweetness that it has for flavor. According to coffee growers, this is brought on by the volcanic soil and the low altitudes that the coffees are used to.

Old name, old blend

Although it has already changed its name to Dominican Republic, the country's coffee blends is still being called Santo Domingo, its old name.

Coffee in this part of the world is grown on mountain ranges that meet at the center of the small island. These coffees are then sold in main markets namely Ocoa, Bani, Barahona, and Cibao.

Bani is lighter than the other two while the Barahona has a more acidic flavor to it.

Coffee in Dominican Republic is actually being compared closely to the ones grown in the Jamaican High Mountains.

Giant of industry

When it comes to mild coffee, Columbia is one of the giants in the field. In fact, Columbia holds 12 percent of the world market in terms of coffee production. It is of course second only to Brazil, which has about 30-35 percent of the market; but this is quite a feat especially for a small country like Columbia.

Coffee in this country is grown in high altitudes and is already wet-processed before being shipped. The central and the East Cordillera regions are the best producers of coffee. Central regions such as the Manizales and the Medellin are known all over the world. Medellin, in fact, is very famous for its heavy flavor but acidity that is balanced. The Manizeles, on the other hand, is, thinner and less acidic, much the same with another coffee blend, the Armenia.

In the Eastern cordilleras, the Bogota and the Bucaramanga are the most famous. The Bogota, which is considered as one of the world's finest blend is less acidic than the famous Medellin but is still flavorful. Bucaramanga, on the other hand, is made of soft beans that are heavy in body but very rich in flavor.

You can make all of these types of coffee using the West Bend 56202 Or for an even easier option look to using Tassimo coffee t-discs and Caribou k-cups.

We all know that coffee first originated in Ethiopia and then easily went around the globe. Papua New Guinea (PNG), coffee plant growth was reportedly in British Papua in 1889 in the botanical gardens. In 1892, coffee blooms in the Rigo area and because of this blossoming of coffee plants they acquired 20,000 Arabica coffee plants to plant on Variarata plantation in 1898.

Coffee plants were also introduced on the New Guinea side under the German Administration. The New Guinea Department of Agriculture in Wau started their first plantation in 1928. It was also introduced to the Highlands of Lutheran missionaries before WWII that Bourbon Arabica coffee was first planted at Ogelbeng, then in Asaroka.

Kenya is also one of the coffee industries around the globe that is booming for its cooperative system of milling, marketing, auctioning and for its large percentage of production from small farms. About 6 million Kenyans are employed in the coffee production. Kenyan's coffee is famous for its intense flavor, full body and pleasant aroma.

India became famous as being the large exporters of coffee beans in 2006-2007 surpassing the previous years with 2.58 million tons. Italy, Russia, Germany and Belgium became the top four importers of coffee from India plantations. Also included in India's main list as their primary importers are Spain, Slovenia, Japan, United States, France, Greece and Netherlands.

Aside from PNG, Kenya and India, another well-known coffee producer is Colombia. They are known as Colombian Mild that is freshly roasted with bright acidity and high intense in aroma. In Costa Rica, coffee production is their number three export after being the number one in cash crops for almost three decades. And in Peru, their 90% of coffee production will be exported to other coffee brewing countries.

Aside from the mentioned coffee producers above, there are different countries who also produced coffee as one of their cash crop economies. To name a few: Angola, Brazil, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Cote de Ivoire, Cuba, Dominican Republic, East Timor, Ecuador, El Salvador, Ethiopia (first discovered coffee), Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Laos, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Rwanda, Saint Helena, Sao Tome, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Vanuatu, Vietnam and Yemen.

You can use the Keurig B30 to use Keurig k-cup variety packs. Or if you don't own a Keurig machine look at hot chocolate t-discs.
