I looked at the map for the top ten coffee producers and learned that the biggest place for growing coffee beans is in Brazil because of it's warm temperatures all year round. I also learned all the coffee growing countries have formed a belt around the Tropic of Cancer.
ReplyDeleteFrench Statesmen, and Samuel Pepys. A coffee house. In London. From 1754 to 1838. To show how people got coffee and how they made it. Also for what ages people drink coffee.
ReplyDeleteI thought coffee was native to Brazil and it wasn't. The only reason Brazil has such a large coffee empire, is because of this guy,'The James Bond of Beans',Lt. Col. Francisco de Melo Palheta. He went to French Guiana, he flattered the governor's wife, and it payed off. At his farewell dinner, as a toke of affection, she presented him a bouquet full of seedlings. From these little seedlings, became Brazil's huge crop.
ReplyDeleteI read about coffee legends and about the Kaldi saw his herd dancing near the beans he had one and started to dance to. Then in Arabia they drank it religiously. Then in 1615v a merchant brought coffee to Europe but then they wanted there own way to make coffee. A dutch man found the way and started to sell it.
ReplyDeleteI chose to read about the main coffee producers in the country. The main areas coffee is produced is northern South America, western Africa, and most of southern Asia. Brazil is the top producer with 22.5 million 132 pound bags of coffee produced each year. They produce one-third of the worlds coffee. Every now and then, they will have frost and will ruin their productions for that year and prices will be raised worldwide due to the shortage on coffee.
ReplyDeleteI chose the map to look at. I learned that,Brazil is responsible for a 3rd of all coffee production. Brazil is the only high-volume producer to frost. Brazil has 22.5 million bags of coffee.Uganda has the least amount of coffee with 3 million bags.
ReplyDeleteMost Americans like the "medium roast" beans.
ReplyDeleteNew England people like the "light roast" beans.
The French like the "dark roast" beans.
The Italians like the "super dark roast" beans. They are very oily.
Brazil makes 22.5 million bags of coffee every year. Brazil is responsible for 1/3 of the nations coffee.
Most of the coffee in the world is grown in between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Cappercorn.
i looked at the map for the map that Brazil is the biggest growing coffee bean place it bags 22.5 million bags. It does so well because of its climate all year along. i also learned that that the countries that do produce coffee beans have a belt around the Tropic cancer noun has the Bean Belt.
ReplyDeleteI read about the origins of coffee. Coffee beans and coffee cherries were first found in Africa around A.D. 1000. At first, people just ate the beans and cherries, they also made wine from the coffee cherries. Coffee did not spread until a few hundred years later. Arabian traders brought the coffee beans to the middle east where the first brewing of coffee happened. The Arabians did not want the secret of coffee leaving the middle east. But, an Indian smuggler strapped coffee beans to his stomach and smuggled the beans to the Turks. The Turks then spread the drink throughout Europe. The French had many plants in the carribean when a brazilian smuggler smuggled beans to Brazil making coffee a household treat.
ReplyDeleteIn A.D. 1000...in Arabia, Coffee beans were first brewed and roasted. Religiously, the Muslims would drink the 'bean broth" which kept the worshippers awake. Arabia would not export any coffee beans, so a smuggler left Mecca with a few beans. Because of that, coffee soon reached parts of Europe. After that, Europe wanted means of the product. Business boomed, and they began to grow coffee trees to make coffee. Other places around the world caught on, and everyone was growing coffee trees and drinking coffee. It is and was a drink for the people!(:
ReplyDeletei learned that coffee has been around for along time. It was discovered by "Kaldi" an Ethiopian legend. He noticed his herb dancing from one coffee shrub to another. I learned a lot from reading this.
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting in -coffee talk- that across the channel, the British diarist Samuel Pepys, wrote of Londoners coffee with butter, mustard, oatmeal, and ale. I think that would be nasty, but I guess I've never had it and i don't live in London, But I like mine with LOTS of creamer....not mustard.
ReplyDeleteI took a look at the roast and it really interested me on how to make your coffee and what type of bean was the way it tasted. The one that said it was spicy was a shocker to me because I wouldn't have guessed that it would be that taste. I think I still might stick with the normal coffee at the house with a ton of creamer. The ways they named the coffee was also very interesting like the full city or other names like that.
ReplyDeleteCoffee all started supposibly because a goat was eating coffee beans off of a coffee tree and someone saw him. He wondered what it tasted like so he made coffee out of it. This is what started the whole coffee trend. Different types of coffee became popular too. Black coffee was made. Religious people even had coffee offered when they were praying.Brazil later was a big place in the coffee industry. This became popular in the 1800's.
ReplyDeleteFor Beyond the Buzz I read about roast. The roast talked about four different kinds of coffee. It talked about light, medium, dark, and darkest. The roast was explanations/descriptions about each type of coffee. These descriptions were from the book Coffee Basics: A Quick and Easy Guide by Kevin Knox and Julie Sheldon. Each description told when the beans began to pop and when you most generally would take the beans off. Also weither the roast was sweet, bitter, smokey, etc. They did this so that you could see what each kind was like. It also told where they were each from. One was from America, another England, France, and Italy. That's what I learned from the roast.
ReplyDeleteI learned that when I looked at the map one of the ton ten places for growing coffee is Brazil. Brazil make 1/3 of the coffee production. Coffee beans need warm temps. The top then is all around the equator because it's warm.
ReplyDeleteI read about coffee legends. In 800ad kaldi noticed his goats dancing from one bush to another and they were eating cherry red berries that contained the coffee bean.In 1000ad the muslims drank coffee religisouly. it kept the worshipers up throught the night.the dutch in 1616 opened up a coffee plant.
ReplyDeleteI learned about coffee legends. I read the one when the farmers goats got into all the coffee beans they started going crazy, because goats can and want to eat everything they can find. After the farmer saw that the goats got into the beans he wanted to try some. So the farmers tried some then he started to dance with the goats. Now they discovered that coffee can keep people that work at the night awake so they wont fall asleep on the job. Coffee now a days is a great source in keeping your energy up and staying focus.
ReplyDeleteI learned about some of the roasts. There is light, medium, dark and darkest. I was surprised to find that dark can taste spicy. Darkest tastes smokey. Light tastes sour and grassy. That is what I learned
ReplyDeleteI learned that Brazil is the biggest producer of coffee in the world shipping about 22 million bags. some people think Brazil worries to much about quantity and not enough about the quality of the coffee bean. People also think think that since Brazil has had major frost in the past that raised the prices of coffee should pay more attention to that. I also learned that Guatemala is a producer of some of the world best coffee. coffee started in Guatemala when German settlers came their in the 19th century. Its best coffee is grown in the southern volcanic slopes in Guatemala.
ReplyDeleteI learned that coffee had religious meaning to the Muslims. also,it kept the Worshipers awake. Brazil exports nearly 22.5 million bags of coffee. But Brazil isn't the only place that exports coffee. Columbia, Mexico, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Vietnam, India and Guatemala export, too. these places don't export near as much coffee as Brazil does. some places export as little as 3 million bags. Brazil is one of the best places because of it's warm climate.
ReplyDeleteCoffee started because of a goat eating coffee beans off of a tree and someone saw him. SO the person tasted the beans and made coffe frome then. Its what started coffee. differnt kinds of coffee's were made as well, including black coffee. religuos people made coffe when they were praying.Brazil was later made a big coffee industry.
ReplyDeleteThe topic studied was coffee legends and It basically stated that coffee was first descoverd as a berry in Eastern Africa. Where a farmer noticed his sheep eating these berrys from an unfamiliar bush so he tried some himself and realized it gave him much more energy. Then in A.D. 1000 the Arabs decided to brew the berrys into a stew and that's how coffee got started. Then after a couple hundred years it eventually made its way into Europe where things really started kicking off. Coffee really started to become popular in Europe and all over Asia to the point where they came up with more brews and different types of coffee and different flavors.
ReplyDelete1. I read about where coffee came from. It originally came from Africa. When they found it in Africa they used it for wine, power bars, and also made coffee and animal fat balls. After that the Arabians started to brew coffee for the first time. Soon after Europeans used the beans for trade. Gabriel Mathieu De Clieu helped the coffee plant flourish around Latin America by taking care of 1 COFFEE PLANT. Colonel Palheta smuggles some coffee beans from France over to Brazil which made coffee one of there biggest exports.
ReplyDeleteBrizil thrives in coffee cultivation because of its warm climate. It is the largest producers of coffee in the world. It produces about 22.5 million bags of coffee per year.That's a lot of coffee!
ReplyDeleteBrazil produces about one third of all coffee in the world. Colombia produces 10.5 million bags of coffee each year. Indonesia is noted as the world's top producer of robusta beans. Vietnam's coffee production is running at a furious pace. Some people are worried that the coffee is growing way to fast and it all can't be processed. Mexico is the top most coffee production in North America.
ReplyDeleteThese 5 countries are the top five coffee producers in the world.
The medium type of coffee bean is what we, as Americans, drink everyday. Medium beans tend to be sweeter than light coffee beans, which has a taste of sourness or "snappy". Medium beans are balanced out by acid snap (?), aroma, and complexity. The darkest color of the coffee bean is espresso.
ReplyDelete1.i read about the roast and there are 4 different roast 1. is light 2. is medium 3.is dark and 4. is darkest.the light one it takes 7 minutes then it will pop then for the medium on it takes 9 to 11 minutes before they pop then the dark one it takes 12 to 13 minutes for the beans to be hissing then popping. then for the darkest after 14 minutes the beans will grow quiet and being to smoke.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the coffee map and found out many things. Brazil, a coffee producer, produces over 22.5 million bags of coffee a year! They usually grow in the summer time because of Brazil's hot climate near the equator. They need to have a steady temp. of 70 degrees and rich soil to grow.
ReplyDeleteI learned that in Vietnem they make about 6 million bags a year and that the french brought it over in the 1800s, but it was not very popular until the 1980s.
ReplyDeleteTop Ten Coffee-Producing Countries was my topic. Brazil is leading country for producing coffee and produces 3rd of the earths coffee with 22.5 million bags per year the 2nd leading coffee producer is with 10.5 million bags then Indonesia with 6.7 million bags
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at the map, I learned that Uganda was the 10th highest ranked in coffee production with 3 million bags of coffee a year! That provides 80% of the jobs in Uganda. With that total amount of coffee bags, that is about 75% of the Uganda population! That sure is a lot of coffee! The notable coffee bean in Uganda is the bugisu bean.
ReplyDeleteI read about the coffee roasts and the light roasts flavored is sour, grassy and snappy. It takes seven minutes and the roast will pop and double in size. The medium roast are sweeter then the light roast and in 9 to 11 minutes the beans reach the roast which they prefer. The dark roasts are more spicy and after 12 to 13 minutes the beans begin popping and hissing. The darkest roast is more smokey and has a very oily surface.After 14 minutes the beans grow quiet and begin to smoke. The light and medium surfaces are both dry.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the top ten places where coffee is. I learned that Brazil has the most bags of coffee (22.5 million bag).Today Brazil is responsible for about a third of all coffee production. I also learned that the growing regions offers moderate sunshine and rain, and steady temp. around 70 degrees farenhite(20 degrees celcius)
ReplyDeletein the article there was a person who got buried by the Japanese, the person was buried in coffee. the person paid $10,000 for the popular drink there, and some people back then, it was worth to to spend a lot of money for coffee. people have to be happy when they get their drink of coffee and they are happy with it
ReplyDeleteI looked at the map. Brazil is the top coffee producer in the world producing 22.5 million bags of coffee. There are others but none get close to Brazil. One thing though is that Brazil is susceptible to frost. When they do have frosts, it helps other countries and gives them a boost.
ReplyDeleteThere are four different kinds of coffee beans, light, medium, dark, and darkest. The light bean when you roast it the beans after seven minutes they start to pop and double in size. American mass-market roasters typically stop there. The surface of the bean is dry and the flavor is light-bodied and somewhat sour. The medium bean when roasted at nine to eleven minutes the beans reach the roast, which U.S. specialty sellers tend to prefer. The surface of the bean is dry and the flavor is a little sweeter than the light bean. The dark bean after 12 to 13 minutes the beans begin hissing and popping. The surface is slightly shiny and the flavor is somewhat spicy. The darkest bean after 14 minutes grow quiet and begin to smoke. The surface is oily and the flavor is smoky.
ReplyDeleteI studied the map and learned that Brazil is 3rd of all coffee production in the world! The climate in Brazil is one of the reasons why Brazil is so successful in producing coffee. But in 1975 a frost hit and caused the price of coffee to go up tremendously because there was less of it to be found. But Brazil made it through those hard times and rebounded in 1997-1998 when Brazil produced around 22.5 MILLION bags of coffee!That's around 3,000 POUNDS OF COFFEE!!!!!!!!! WOW!!
ReplyDeleteAll of the coffee production comes from a belt that is between the tropics Cancer and Capricon.The biggest producer of coffee is Brazil, 22.5 million bags.They have such a great amount of quantity,that sometimes it lacks quality.Indonesia is third largest coffee producer.The dutch gave coffee a nickname called java,because it was an island name they had plantions.
ReplyDeletecoffee was a major indestry a while back. Everyone wanted some. Today there are many way coffee can be made. Capachino, black, ecspresso, dark, mocca, latya, and that is all I know cause I don't drink it. back a ways in time peaple would work a day to harvest coffee for about $9.30 an hour in american dollars. Today millions of people drink coffee.
