rticle we look at the origins of coffee from the South American continent.
Brazilian Coffee – Brazil produces roughly a third of the worlds’ coffee, but the bulk of it is of the Robusta variety and is not considered to be of high quality. It is mainly used for blending, and the Brazilians have always had the priority of low price over quality.
However there are some excellent Arabica coffees grown around the Sao Paulo region, where the well know Santos or Bourbon Santos bean are produced. Another popular variety is the Rio, a dry-processed bean with a characteristic medicinal-like flavour. Considered a defect by most westerners it is however much loved in the Balkans and Middle-Eastern countries.
If you wish to buy ground coffee that is of a very good quality then it will certainly pay to check out Douwe Egberts Ground Coffee. From the year 1753 onward till the present Douwe Egberts has always provided high quality coffees. In the year 1919 the owners of Douwe Egberts opened their first plant to roast coffee and soon became exporters. By the year 1960 Douwe Egberts had captured a share of over fifty percent of all Dutch coffee exports that today their ground coffee is available as Dark, Roast, Decaffeinated as well as Medium Roast. Buying ground coffee from Douwe Egberts ensures a heady power as well as richness that is unmatched by any other ground coffee.
