Latin American Coffees

Latin American coffees have a distinctive pleasant flavor, and a light body with a brisk, clean finish.

Coffee was brought to the Americas by colonists from France, and the first coffee plantations were started in the West Indies. 

Coffee beans were smuggled from French Guinea into Brazil In 1727, and coffee plantations were started in that country. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Brazil was the biggest producer of coffee and had a monopoly in the trade. However, a policy of maintaining high prices soon opened opportunities to other nations, such as Colombia and Guatemala.

Light, Medium or Dark Roast?

Light Roast means the coffee is milder, sweeter and heavier in body due to the sugars left in the beans. Dark Roast is stronger, less sweet and has less caffeine, as the higher temperatures used burn both sugar and caffeine out of the beans. Medium Roast is somewhere in between, and thus the most popular roast of coffee.
