Jamaican Coffee history lesson

The Legend of Kaldi
An Ethiopian goat herder by the name of Kaldi noticed that his goats were acting strange after eating berries and leaves from a shrub. Kaldi became curious and ate the berries himself. He found that he became ‘energetic and vigorous’. He told his friends of his discovery and the news of this energy-laden fruit spread all over the land. Monks throughout heard of this great discovery and began to consume the fruits to assist them to partake in prolonged periods of prayer. The monks then dried the berries so that they could be transported over long distances.

Coffee : Arabica vs. Robusta

Coffee Arabica (Arabica Coffee)
Coffea arabica takes about seven years to mature fully and does best with 1-1.5 meters (about 40-59 inches) of rain, evenly distributed throughout the year. It is usually cultivated between 1,300 and 1,500 m altitude, but there are plantations as low as sea level and as high as 2,800 m.

The plant can tolerate low temperatures, but not frost, and it does best when the temperature hovers around 20 °C (68 °F). Commercial cultivars mostly only grow to about 5 m, and are frequently trimmed as low as 2 m to facilitate harvesting. Unlike Coffea canephora, Coffea arabica prefers to be grown in light shade

Coffea Canephora : Robusta Coffee
Canephora is easier to care for than the other major species of coffee, Coffea arabica, and, because of this, is cheaper to produce. Since arabica beans are often considered superior, robusta is usually limited to lower grade coffee blends as a filler. It is however often included in instant coffee, and in espresso blends to promote the formation of “crema”.
