World 'Cup'

So the World Cup is almost at its end...yes it is sad for the entire population to feel something precious is leaving their TV's. But as we watch the SemiFinals and discover that Germany is about to sabotage Brazil (Perdon Brazil), I ponder and take notes for future posts and I was curious to Google some information on the coffee industry between these two countries. We all see the different countries listed at Starbucks or the local grocery store, so I took the time to research as if I were to write a term paper. And here are the interesting facts I have discovered thanks to Google:

Germany

• Known for Flavor and Smoothness (Starbucks says the same thing)
• 55,000 tons production in this recent decade (Really?!)
• An economic worth of $1.5 Billion Euros (Not USD!) of imports
• Berlin and Hambug are the popular cities for increase sales
• An "Accessory to City Chic"---- Expresses Individuality and Confidence (At least I'm not alone)
• Famous Brands; Dallmayr, Eduscho, Jacobs, Niederegger, Tchibo (Umm can't pronounce)
• And most importantly, a Strong, Full Flavor without the bitter after taste (Yes THANK YOU!)

Brazil 

• "They grow an awful lot of coffee in Brazil"- Frank Sinatra
• Largest production of Arabica 
• Nutty, sweet, low in Acidity
• Develops bittersweet and chocolate roast taste
• Common in high-end espressos and even Dunkin Donuts (Hmm.. I shall try now)
• Because they grow at low altitude it means the taste will have a low acidity (I wonder how that works)

So here is the big question....Brazil or Germany coffee. Well unfortunately the Brazilian tropical sunshine was destroyed by the thunderstorm of Germany in soccer, but the taste is a challenge I will soon let you all know who may win.
