Did you know?

Brazil couldn’t afford to send its 69 athletes to Los Angeles for the Summer Olympics in 1932, so they put them on a ship with 50,000 sacks of coffee and sold the beans at different ports along the way. Good thing Brazil has been the world’s largest coffee producer for more than 150 years, so they had beans to spare.

Did you know?

In 1991, researchers at the University of Cambridge in England set up a camera feeding a live picture of a coffee machine in the “Trojan Room” so employees could see whether or not the pot was full. If they could see ahead of time that it was empty, it’d save them a trip and inevitable disappointment. A couple years later, the camera was connected to the internet and soon became an international sensation. People watched from all corners of the world until it was turned off for good in 2001.

We had been granted the amazing opportunity to talk to very inspiring coffee professionals since we started our series of talks "Un Café por Favor", and this time won't be the exception. Thanks to who kindly introduced us to Cleia Junqueira , we now have the amazing chance to talking with a woman who is a Roast Master, also she is an active member of the International Women’s Coffee Alliance (IWCA) , and also the creator of her own DVD course demonstrating her interest in growing the coffee culture and its training practices. Cleia is also a WCE Sensory Certified Judge, certified both Q Arabica grader and R Robusta grader plus some other very interesting skills.

We are pleased to announce that we are going live on Saturday 31st October at 8:00 am Brazil / 11:00 am Ireland / 15:00 Dubai.  We have prepared some questions for Cleia and some of you have also sent some questions for her. This one is another great talk for sure you don't want to miss.

"... So in specialty coffee, bitterness is like a dreaded word nowadays it’s all about acidity, blueberry, these kinds of thing, and everyone’s saying like, your life is bitter, your coffee shouldn’t be..." is what Sara Marquart .marquart said at the 2019 Specialty Coffee Expo in Boston, when presenting her results of 4 years' research on bitterness.

Sara's research has changed the way we at Los Cafés del Arriero evaluate and drink coffee. For us bitterness was a sin, something that it shouldn't be in one's cup of coffee; we use flavor descriptors such as "dark chocolate, grapefruit, cranberries..." not being conscious that they refer to a pleasant bitterness. Sara's research can help us to better understand what is happening during the roasting process and how we can use bitterness in our advantage. We are pleased to announce that Sara will join us next Saturday to discuss about bitterness and more. We seriously think that this is an interview you don’t want to miss!

We are going live on Saturday 24th October at 12:00 Ireland / 13:00 Switzerland.

Coffea arabica grows wild in the forests of the highlands. That’s where it all began. The nearest coastline is the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a 30-kilometre crossing between and the Arabian peninsula where the plant was first cultivated and traded. It spread from there to the Middle East and .

Arabica beans may be more highly prized for their taste, but they can’t beat the kick of robusta. Robusta beans, grown primarily in and , contain almost double the caffeine of their arabica cousins—just under three per cent, to 1.5% for arabica. This extra caffeine also helps make robusta easier to grow, because it turns off some pests.

Did you know?

Circa 1735, Johann Sebastian Bach penned “Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht,” also known as the “Coffee Cantata.” In the song, a father-daughter duo argues about how she drinks too much and that’s why she doesn’t have a lover. Alas, if she gave it up she’d “become so upset that I would be like a dried-up piece of roast goat.” Yikes. When her father gives her an ultimatum, she lies to please him. While he’s out finding her a husband, she secretly tells potential suitors they must let her drink coffee if they want to marry her.

Writer François-Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire, reportedly drank 40 to 50 cups of a chocolate-coffee mixture each day. Although this is much more than the suggested daily intake, the world-famous thinker lived a lengthy life and died when he was 83 years old. Similarly, it’s alleged that former U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt drank a gallon of per day and died at age 60 after a blood clot traveled from his leg to his lungs. Though it’s unknown just how many cups he had daily, Beethoven would count exactly 60 beans to each serving — no more, no less.

Early this year while working on a marketing campaign for one of the newest coffees produced by Paul from .coffee ,we received a message from him telling us that one of his coffees was being used in the 2020 Batista championship with amazing results. We start asking questions: who was the Barista, which was Paul talking about? among some other questions. The Barista in mention was Goda Pangonyté the youngest Lithuanian professional who won the 2019 Lithuanian Barista Championship, and who that day got 2nd place in the 2020 Lithuanian Barista championship using a rare coffee variety that Paul grows at his farm. Goda has super positive vibes, she is another super inspiring coffee professional and she works at an amazing  shop called Italala Caffè located in Lithuania. We couldn't resist not reaching out to her and we are so happy she has accepted our invitation; thank you Goda in advance for your time and for sharing your passion with us.

We have prepared some questions and few of our followers have sent some questions over for her too, this talk is going to be amazing and you can miss it!

The part of where wild originated was called the Kingdom of Kaffa from the 14th century onward. That may be where the drink gets its name. Another theory says that the who first popularized coffee named it qahwah after one of their ancient drinks that was similar to wine. Qahwah became kahve in , then koffie in , and finally coffee in
