As for controlling pricing Chavez states the USA and George Bush have taken advantage of the Latin American countries long enough and the café brothers need to band together to keep prices up. His passionate speech came amid reports that coffee production has far exceeded expected production reports which in normal market conditions will cause prices to drop.

The history of gourmet coffee in Costa Rica and its relationship to Costa Rica and their free school system.
The likely date of the arrival of coffee to America is 1720 when they brought the first seeds, Arabica Coffea species (Typical variety), to Martinique in the Antilles. From there originated the berry that was sowed in Costa Rica in the beginning of the 18th century.
Prominent Costa Ricans contributed to the development of coffee, and the first to cultivate it was the priest Félix Velarde, who, in 1816, made reference to having a plot of land cultivated with the beans. Don Mariano Montealegre was the crop’s main promoter during the decade from 1830 1840.

Next time you pull in your local gas station for a fill up please ask for it lead free - that is the coffee - try the organic coffee.
What is Organic Coffee?
Today many agricultural products are grown using organic methods and coffee is no exception. Organic products have a very minimal effect on the environment because there is no use of insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers. All organic produces are certified to ensure that their products are grown in such a way. Expensive and very technical labs must conduct very thorough tests on the gourmet coffee to ensure the product is organic.

Specialty coffees differ from one place to another for couple of reasons, including the way in which it has been grown, the altitude, the area, the soil, and even in the way in which farmer cares for the coffee bean. Like the gourmet coffee, specialty coffees would differ from one country to another, one region to another, and year to year. Even the way the roaster treats the coffee to would have a big impact on the final taste.
