Animal Coffee

!±8± Animal Coffee

While searching the many resources of the internet today on coffee, I found a very interesting coffee...blend we'll call it. The coffee is made with animals' stomachs and is called Luwak Coffee. The process as how they get their coffee is simple.

Coffee beans are harvested and fed to animals that live in the Sumatran forest. After the animals have done their business, workers walk around the forest and collect the remains to be brewed into "fresh" made coffee. The actual coffee is owned by the company AnimalCoffee, which is based in Indonesia. The coffee apparently is very popular and is considered to actually be Gourmet Coffee. The beans come from various places around Indonesia but they can offer both Arabica and Robusta type coffees. The company is so far only online based but does have offices in Indonesia as well and is run by someone with the name Troy Davis but they have been in operation for 13 years as of yet. Currently he lives in Australia but his company is starting to pick up steam and the word is spreading.

Big orders are being placed for these coffees so perhaps there really is something to it. If you would like to try some of it, you can always request a sample. If you are into animal stomach type foods don't forget there is also Haggis and I'm sure lots of other types of companies that sell animal organ related foods as well. But then again, some just don't have the stomach for it.

Arabic Coffee

!±8± Arabic Coffee

Ah coffee! The aroma of the coffee being roasted in the open markets and sold as it's going out of style. Hand roasting not only took place in the coffee houses, but also at homes in the long handled cast iron roasting pan with an attached flattened spoon long enough to reach the roasting beans to stir and constantly release this addictive aroma. You have not had coffee unless you have had it roasted for you by hand, ground then boiled to perfection for that ultimate cup of coffee. From the brewing pot, the urn used for serving it to the crafty and various looking cups used. So whether you are at the market, home or attending whatever occasion, engagement, wedding, graduation, the birth of a child, a holiday, or fast visiting for a "Sahra," a gathering to socialize. All of these occasions, visits, or events are accented with indulgence in coffee drinking, or sweet minted tea, fresh fruit and snacks. The ultimate hospitality of a Middle Eastern home is having coffee "on" and serving it all the time. Have you heard of Coffee Arabica, or the Origin of the Bean? Of course it is the Middle East where coffee was originally discovered. In these parts of the world, coffee and it's multiple ways of roasting, brewing, and serving it, coffee is drank in the liters from early in the morning to the late hours of the night, which goes without saying as farmers are early risers and are customarily to bed by midnight. Remember that early afternoon siesta helps a lot.

Now, coffee is the preferred drink of all generations across the new homeland. My mom and dad always had coffee brewing and their constant and warm hospitality, which they showed everyone, was and continues to be, the most gratifying gesture to me. Much of this was the hallmark and gracious gestures of my grandparents before them. To this day, I carry on the same kind of hospitality both at home and at my restaurant. Often my friends, and even my own kids (today's generation), ask if that was necessary or needed, not because the kids, unlike my parents and siblings, are unaware of this. It's because a lesser importance or value is placed on such things. One could argue that it's generational or the difference in the value systems or customary traditions of the time we live in. It is heartwarming, however, as our own kids are more exposed to this, in the long run they will become more appreciative of this unconditional return to this wonderful, interesting and most gratifying gesture of peace, love and friendship.

Arabic coffee is ground very fine compared to its counterpart American version. It is very much similar to the espresso grounds. Unlike espresso, it is traditionally sweetened with sugar or honey and spiced with whole or ground cardamom.

Ingredients

- 1 tsp coffee
- 1 cup water

Method

- Bring water to boil (with sugar if desired)
- Add coffee, notice coffee with begin to foam and creamy bubbles start to form
- Turn heat down and perk for a short minute
- Pour coffee into cups and spoon some of the foam topping each cup

Arabic coffee can be ground with cardamom or without. In fact, specialty stores stock both types of ground Arabic coffee vacuum sealed for freshness and taste.

Brazil's Main Coffee Growing Areas

!±8± Brazil's Main Coffee Growing Areas

There are three main coffee growing areas in Brazil: Mogiana, Sul Minas and Cerrado. These areas feature moderate sunlight and rain. The temperatures are steady year-round at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, ideal to grow Arabica and Robusta coffee trees. Arabica accounts for about 70% of total harvest. Robusta, a hardier plant that produces lower quality beans makes up the remaining 30%.

The Mogiana region: This is the area along the border of São Paulo and Minas Gerais states north of São Paulo. The Mogiana coffee region is named after the Companhia Mogiana Estrada de Ferro train line that ran through this area when trains and coffee were inseparable companions in commercial and community development. The Mogiana area is known for its rich red soil.

The Sul Minas region: This is the heart of Brazil's coffee country. The rugged, rolling hills of Sul Minas, are located in the southern part of Minas Gerais state northeast of São Paulo.

The Cerrado region: This is a high, semi-arid plateau surrounding the city of Patrocinio, between São Paulo and Brasilia. This area is located in Brazil's central high plains region.

The Cerrado is a new and most promising coffee growing area because the dry weather during harvest in this region promotes a thorough and even drying of the coffee fruit. The Cerrado is one of the world's most biologically rich savannas with over 10,000 species of plants of which about 45% are unique to this region. This area is about three times the size of the state of Texas. From a water basin perspective, the Cerrado is very important because it feeds three of the main South American water basins: the Amazon, Paraguay and São Francisco rivers.

Of all the coffees growing in these regions, Brazilian Santos Bourbon is Brazil's best well known Specialty Coffee.

Santos is a market name referring to the port through which this coffee is traditionally shipped. The Arabica coffee plants that produce this coffee came from the rich volcanic soils of the island of Bourbon, now called the Island of Reunion. From a historical perspective, the island of Reunion is located in the Indian Ocean, East of Madagascar. This island was an important stopover on the East Indian trading route. When the Suez Canal opened, the island lost its importance. Fortunately for Brazil, the trees imported from the island of Reunion took root very well and started one of Brazil's main cash crops. Brazilian Santos Bourbon is a light bodied coffee, with low acidity, a pleasing aroma and a mild, smooth flavor. Brazilian Santos Bourbon is dry-processed (dried inside the fruit) which is why some of the sweetness of the fruit carries into the cup.

Ready for a nice cup of Brazilian Santos Bourbon with a "cocada"?

Kokosoulas espresso beans

Espresso made from beans obtained from Kokosoulas roastery in Agrinio, Greece. The blend was of an unknown composition of arabica and robusta beans. The coffee was prepared by using a Gaggia New Baby 06 and ground by an Anfim Best grinder. The coffee was very tasteful but a little bit flat. The produced crema was found to be with a nice dark brown color. Note: The tamping was not performed in a correct manner. The two streams of coffee should have been merged much earlier.

Coffee beans on the plant

Coffee plantation in Kerala, India. The coffee tree averages from 5-10 m (15--30 ft.) in height. As the tree gets older, it branches less and less and bears more leaves and fruit. The tree typically begins to bear fruit 3--5 years after being planted, and continues to produce for 10-20 more years, depending on the type of plant and the area. Coffee plants are grown in rows several feet apart. Some farmers plant fruit trees around them or plant the coffee on the sides of hills, because they need specific conditions to flourish. They require a warm climate (but not too hot, either) and at least 1.8 m (70 inches) of rainfall year. Heavy rain is needed in the beginning of the season when the fruit is developing, and less later in the season as it ripens. The harvesting period can be anywhere from three weeks to three months, and in some places the harvesting period continues all year round.

Specialty Coffee - Arabica Vs Robusta

!±8± Specialty Coffee - Arabica Vs Robusta

High quality blends such as Specialty Coffee tend to be 100% Arabica. Now, let us tell you what Arabica is.

When it comes to coffee there are basically two types of coffee beans which are used in making it - Arabica and Robusta. The chief difference between the two is merely of quality. While Arabica beans have a noticeably superior taste, and are generally speaking more flavorful and than Robusta, Robusta on the other hand tends to make a bitterer brew.

The question or debate between Arabica and Robusta or Premium Vs regular coffee is simply of one between quality Vs quantity. Robusta beans are a lot more forgiving and can be grown in a large variety of temperatures and geography, they also tend to have a shorter production time and thus can be made available more readily and more frequently. However the final product is significantly lower in quality.

Arabica beans on the other hand are really choosy as to where they will grow and thus can be grown only in temperatures ranging between 15 to 20 degrees centigrade. They also have a significantly longer production cycle and generally take more than 4 or even 5 years for the crop to be ripe. However the final product of this is quite high quality.

When we talk about specialty coffee we are referring to the coffee which is made out of Arabica beans which is a prerequisite for gourmet specialty coffee. Connoisseurs consider this type of coffee to be far superior to the more readily available kinds and recommend these.

Another way to check out whether a coffee is specialty coffee or not is by checking out the rating giving to it by the Specialty Coffee Association of America. If the coffee scores over 80 on a scale of 100 then it can be considered Specialty coffee or even gourmet.

The Great Arabica Coffee Beans

!±8± The Great Arabica Coffee Beans

Arabica coffee beans are grown in Africa,areas in Asia as well as Latin America. It is believed to be the first type of coffee beans that were harvested. It is widely grown than other type of coffee beans. Usually they can take about seven years to reach their full size. The fruits from the plants which contain the seeds are called the Arabica coffee beans. The beans must be picked at a proper time for it to produce a good cup of coffee.

As we know, coffee contains caffein but the good news is that Arabica coffee has lower level of caffein compares to other types of coffee.

Where are Arabica coffee best planted? The Arabica plants grow well on the steep slopes as well as the terraced highlands. The reasons being they can get the right amount of sunlight and a lot of rain. However, the coffee plants can not grow higher than thousand feet high. In a year these plants can produce about one pound of Arabica coffee per annum.

Now we know how and where they are grown, let's look at how they are being processed. There are two popular ways how coffee are processed: wet and dry process.

The Wet Process

In wet process, the beans are harvested from the farms. From there they go through several stages before they are sold and roasted. The first major process is in the factory, where the ripe beans are separated from the unripe beans, depulped to remove the outer cover. They are then fermented in a tank to remove the Arabica coffee beans from the husk. After an adequate time when the soaking process has been completed the beans are removed and dried out in the sunshine on huge patios for about six weeks. During the daytime the coffee beans are rakes continuously so that they dries up quicker and evenly, at night they are being transported into covered buildings.

The Dry Process

In dry process on the other hand, the husks of the coffee are allowed to be intake after they are being harvested, no soaking in the fermented tank like in the wet process. Therefore the Arabica beans still have the husks which dry around the beans.

Arabica coffee beans has different types of flavours, this however depend on where they are coming from. There are people who say that other types of coffee taste like spices, nuts a swell a chocolate. That is one of the reasons why coffee made from Arabica beans is more popular among coffee drinkers than those coffee made from Robusta coffee beans, even though the latter is cheaper. It is all about the flavor. Many coffee drinker say that Arabica coffee has the right level of acidity and the mild flavour indulges them with a great tasting cup of coffee. While the Robusta beans are criticised for having a woody and harsh acidic taste. Therefore if you would like to have a cup of great tasting and fulfiling coffee, go for Arabica coffee beans, you won't regret it for a minute.
