For many folks there is a good cup of
coffee, OK coffee, or bad coffee.

In the world of true coffee lovers there
is good coffee or exceptional coffee.

And, for the true connoisseur there is
gourmet coffee, either regular or one of
the organic coffee brands.

Although there is USDA certified
organic coffee there is no agency that
certifies gourmet coffee brands.

USDA Organic Coffee Certification

But, all gourmet coffees have several
things in common.

These coffees are all Arabica coffee
varieties grown in volcanic soil in
mountainous terrain.

And a gourmet coffee has been
carefully processed and quickly
delivered to the consumer.

No matter how good a roasted coffee
was to begin with, it does not age like a
fine wine. Old coffee is never gourmet
coffee.

And, a gourmet coffee is freshly
roasted, French roast or otherwise, in
a small batch, immediately ground, and
brewed.

Coffee starts to age the moment the
contents of the roasted bean are
exposed to the air.

And ground coffee is really not
gourmet because it has aged before it
ever got to you.

Although we like to promote Fair Trade
coffees, being fairly traded is not an
issue with gourmet coffees as they
have a following and charge plenty for
their coffee.

All of this having been said, what are
some specific gourmet coffee brands?

Gourmet Coffee Brands 1:
Gesha from Panama

Gesha coffee is a Arabica variety that
originated near a village of the same
name in Ethiopia.

Gesha is an heirloom varietal. The
seed stock is extremely pure.

It has not been cross bred or altered.

It is a faithful replica of the original
seed stock from around Gesha,
Ethiopia.

The plant was tried in Central America
in the 1950s because of its disease
resistance.

Hacienda la Esmeralda is a coffee
farm in Panama famous for its small
plots of Gesha coffee.

Hacienda la Esmeralda gesha coffee
has sold at auction for $100 a pound!
There are a few other growers of
gesha coffee in Honduras, Costa Rica
and Colombia.

A unique Gesha variety is called
Santuario and sells typically for about
$80 a pound.

Very Expensive Gesha Coffee

Kopi Luwak from
Indonesia

This is perhaps the most expensive
coffee in the world as noted by the
website most expensive coffee!

You may or may not like how this
coffee comes to be but it is one of the
gourmet coffee brands.

The palm civet cat eats the choicest
coffee berries.

During the digestion process the coffee
cherries and the pulp are removed but
the coffee beans are not digested.

During this process some kind of
unique fermentation occurs which is
responsible for giving the civet coffee
its special flavor.

The feces of the civet cat are collected
and the coffee beans isolated and
cleaned.

The process may be unique but the
coffee commands a high price of as
much as $500 a pound!

El Injerto from Guatemala

Finca El Injerto is a coffee farm in
Guatemala.

They have won multiple awards for
their coffee.

They are also proud of the fact that
their operation has been certified as
carbon neutral.

Our commitment with our coffee’s
quality has earned us multiple awards,
being acknowledged as one of the best
5 coffees in the world.

Yauco Selecto AA from
Puerto Rico

Yauco Select production is limited to
about 3,000 bags.

This coffee has been a gourmet
favorite for years and years.

The coffee culture on Puerto Rico goes
back a quarter of a millenia!

Over 250 years ago, a few coffee trees
were first introduced to the island of
Puerto Rico.

At the time, coffee was mostly a
Caribbean crop in the new Continent.

This is also a gourmet coffee that you
can order online.

Kona from Hawaii

Kona coffee is a market name for one
of the most expensive coffees in the
world.

This coffee is Arabica and cultivated on
the Big Island of Hawaii.

It grows on the slopes of Hualalai and
Mauna Loa in the North and South
Kona Districts.

Be careful when ordering this coffee
online.

Hawaii forbids any coffee not grown
where Kona is grown to be labeled as
Kona coffee.

But you can find coffee from elsewhere
that may even contain a few percent
Kona beans being sold as 100% Kona
coffee.

Of course your first hint will be when
you make coffee and get a bad taste.

Make sure that what you order is
grown, processed, and packaged in
Hawaii!

Blue Mountain from
Jamaica

Like Kona coffee, Blue Mountain coffee
from Jamaica comes from a specific
region of the island.

And like Kona, there are several
growers who produce coffee on Blue
Mountain.

And, all of them are expensive, running
about $200 a pound.

To avoid being scammed, order online
from an estate like BaronHall to be
sure you are getting genuine Blue
Mountain coffee from Jamaica.

Gourmet Coffee from
Colombia

There are lots of excellent full body
Arabica coffees from Colombia in
South America.

We wrote that what gourmet coffees
have in common is volcanic soil in the
mountains.

And these coffees are grown by people
who have lived the coffee culture for
generations.

This description fits most of the coffee
grown in the Colombian coffee growing
axis, the “Eje Cafetero.”

Where good Colombian coffees differ
from other gourmet coffees is in the
price.

You can afford to drink gourmet coffee
from Colombia every day.

We also noted that no matter how
good a coffee is, it will not age well.

Coffee is not a fine wine that gets
better on the shelf.

So, do you want to take advantage of
one or more of the excellent gourmet
coffee brands from Colombia?

If so why not buy Arabica coffee
directly from Colombia?

The folks who contacted us about
coffee from Colombia ranged from
people who were simply interested in
Colombian coffee to roasters across
the globe who were interested in prices
and the specifics of getting bulk
wholesale green coffee beans shipped
from Colombia.

With our readers’ and clients’ questions
in mind here is some useful information
about our business connecting
Colombian Arabica coffee growers to
coffee lovers everywhere.

A Word about Juan Valdez

Maybe you will just pass on paying
$200 a pound for coffee.

You can still find good Colombian
coffee at your local supermarket.

To make sure that it is 100%
Colombian coffee look for the guy with
his buro on the package.

This is Juan Valdez and his buro,
Conchita.

The Juan Valdez name was invented
by the Colombian Coffee Growers
Association in the middle of the 20th
century.

When you see Juan on the label it
means you are getting 100%
Colombian coffee.

And if you want the freshest green or
roasted Colombian coffee contact

We will have our suppliers in Juan’s
country send the coffee directly to you.
