Help The Relief Effort, Buy Flooded Coffee
The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide reviews 12 coffees from the Tsunami-affected areas.
The first place coffee is Sumatra Mandheling, by Terroir Select Coffees, from northern Sumatra, Indonesia.The second and 3rd place holders, from the same area, are Sumatra from Quartermaine Coffee Roasters and Sumatra Mandheling Grade 1 from Stumptown Coffee Roasters, respectively. OK, all the coffees except one are from the northern part of Samatra, Indonesia. That exception is from southwestern Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Some other good types, listed here, are: CoffeeMaria's Indian Mysore Nuggets and Paradise Roasters' Indian Mysore Nuggets, all from southern India.
by the way, I am guessing on if these are company names and specific coffee types, check the link to get information from someone who has a clue what they're talking about. Heck, I never even drink coffee. I'm just writing this post because I think the concept of coffee competitions to help the economies of those hit by the tsunami is quite interesting.
Additionally, it seems that the UN is actually doing something helpful. Naturally, the devastated countries are receiving virtually no tourism, on which much of their economy depends. The UN, in its brilliant and benevolent efforts, rescued the tourism industry by filling high-class hotels with bureaucrats. It's not just the UN 'crats who are helping the industry, either; because of all the publicity the UN is generating for itself, journalist from the US and Europe are in flocks behind Kofi Annan & Crew, and are filling all the lower-class hotels as well. What charity!
