For years people have been planning on how to sink Africa, but can we sink China instead?

Chinese coffee beans will end up in your can of Folger’s but not in your cup at Starbucks.

Meanwhile big trading companies like Switzerland’s Ecom are buying more and more Chinese coffee for European customers, despite the extremely expensive freight.

10 cents a pound? Puhleeze...

Tell Africa not to worry-it won’t be long until methyl ethyl ketone, lacquer thinner, lead or some other such treat shows up in Chinese coffee

One of the first post-war Vietnamese commodities to become globally successful was its native coffee crop. Not sure of the whole story but getting that huge source online caused a drop in global prices. VN is still the number 2 or 3 coffee producer in the world, and VN beans are in all the major blends.

As for Chinese coffee that was originally produced to buy Soviet arms, I want nothing to do with it or with any other consumable Chinese product.

Another “surprise issue” for our bumbling Congress to deal with in 2008: proper country labeling for all imported food goods.

We buy our beans only from Hawaii now. Sam's Club sells some of the varieties. After all the fair trade BS, we found US grown coffee to be cheaper and better tasting.

[television is just wrong]
