People have been drinking coffee for hundreds of years. African tribes to use to drink coffee for medicinal purposes, South American tribes used to consider coffee beans (http://verdecoffee.com/coffee-65/espresso-coffee-beans-74/) a delicacy. However A perfect cup of coffee is not possible without a perfect coffee bean. In countries such as France, Italy and Spain drinking coffee is more of an experience as opposed to being an addiction and the perfect cup of coffee is what everyone wants.
In order to cultivate perfect coffee beans, coffee needs to be planted and harvested under the right climatic conditions. This is why even though coffee is drunk the world over there is just a few places in the world where high quality coffee can be grown.
According to many Connoisseurs some of the best and most famous coffee is grown in Jamaica. A place known for its great music, sandy beaches and strong sunlight is incidentally one of the biggest coffee hotspots. The best coffee in Jamaica comes from a region called Blue Mountain. The beans that come from Blue Mountain, Jamaica can cost up to 35 Euros per pound. While many people may find this ridiculously priced it is what the perfect coffee bean costs. Not surprisingly people are willing to pay the price for a perfect cup of coffee.
Brazil is known as one of the largest exporters and producers of coffee in the world. The majority of coffee we drink in the West comes all the way from Brazilian coffee cultivations. The majority of Brazilian coffee comes from small plantations no larger than ten hectares. However the good thing about Brazilian coffee is that apart from its great tastes it is also cheaper than Jamaican coffee. The low price is probably owed to the surplus amount of coffee that is grown in Brazil that meets if not exceeds the world’s demand for coffee.
Colombia is the second largest producer of coffee in the world. Coffee cultivation and exports give a huge boost to this rather small South American nation. It is also easier for many European countries to import cheap coffee from Colombia owing to its trading ports in both the Pacific ocean and the Atlantic ocean. As a matter of fact Coffee cultivation is so important to the welfare of this country’s economy that all cars entering Colombia are sprayed to kill of any potentially harmful bacteria that may hurt coffee beans.
