The coffee from Brazil is world-famous for a
good reason: it's stellar. None more so than the Brazil Bourbon Santos.
Brazil is the world's largest coffee bean producer, but hasn't always been
regarded as the best. That may change if this blend catches on. Named after the
birthplace of the cultivar, an island now known as Reunion but once called
Bourbon, it hails from the port near where it makes its present home.
Aromatic, with just the right balance of bitter acids and dark body, this brew
will delight the secret South American romantic in all of us.
america
Though not grown in the U.S. there are several blends that have a distinctive
American style. Made to be enjoyed with a traditional breakfast, they complete
rather than compete with the feast.
These brews are from a blend of medium-roasted, medium ground Columbian and
Central American beans. Smooth, light on the acid and delicate-bodied, they'll
complement rather than call attention to themselves.
Steep & Brew offers a clean, fruity option, as does the Madrugada blend from
Flying Goat. The Supreme Bean offers a sweet, chocolaty blend that will be
perfect with pancakes.
ethiopia
Legendary home of the Arabica tree, which produces the berry that contains
the coffee bean, Ethiopia is making strides in producing a fine brew.
The Coffee Klatch from the Yirgacheffe region is a dark, dark coffee with fruit
overtones for those who enjoy a bold brew. The Counter Culture of the Sidamo
region is a dry-processed bean that will invariably make samplers think of its
sun-drenched home.
For those seeking a delicate espresso, the Belle Espresso from Coffee Klatch may
be just the right thing. A blend from five different regions, the profile is
complex and entrancing.
nicaragua
The Madriz from this Central American small-but-mighty powerhouse of coffee
producers, will be a welcomed addition to the table. Hailing from Terroir
Coffee, its pungent bouquet and full body will have you asking for a second cup.
panama
A small roaster in Portland, Oregon has shown us how to find the best of
Panama. Stumptown Coffee Roasters offers a bean from the Don Pachi Estate that
will be perfect in a
French press. From the Geisha trees of the Boquete region,
this flowered and fruity brew is lightly acidic and goes down smooth.
hawaii
The JavaBerry Black Estate Reserve is all the excuse you need to visit this
Pacific island. From a blend of
Kona Peaberry and
Kona Extra Fancy, it offers a
smooth, full-flavored balance. This one is for those who love their coffee
straight.
sumatra
Indonesian coffee isn't for everyone. Now more expensive, as a consequence of
tsunamis from the last year or two, it often has a tartness that some find
off-putting.
But aficionados could do no better than the
Organic Sumatra Reserve. With hints
of chocolate, this medium-bodied brew is sweeter than average. Fruity overtones
with a thick aroma give it that South Pacific character that make one think of
tropical isles and cool breezes rather than the steamy jungles of its home.
Whatever your native country, 'see' a bit of the world by trying one of the
stellar products from coffee growers around the world. There's more than one way
to experience the delight of an international cup.
