Coffee has been around since the 9th or 10th century and is now the second most traded commodity in the world, just behind oil. The worldwide production of coffee is at 8.9 million tonnes a year with Brazil, Vietnam, and Indonesia being the top three producers. Even though there are only two types of coffee beans, Arabica and Robusta, each region and roasting technique brings out different, complex flavors. Jungle Jim’s International Market carries an endless variety of coffee from around the world. Join us this month as we feature a few of our favorites!

The Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group is one of the biggest private companies in the coffee industry and sells over 120,000 tons of coffee annually. They have 11 roasting plants around the world and export their coffee to 100 countries. The Intermezzo is a dark roast and has a bold taste that is enhanced by a strong caffeine kick. Think of it as American Coffee on steroids. |
Did you know: Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. that commercially grows coffee. Because coffee grows best in climates along the equator, Hawaii’s weather is optimal for harvesting coffee beans.

Pilao is the most popular commercial coffee brand in Brazil, having been in business since 1753 “Cafe Pilao is a full-bodied coffee made with dark roasted and very finely ground beans.” |
Did you know: The majority of coffee is produced in Brazil. Brazil produces 40% of the world’s coffee, which is twice as much as 2nd and 3rd place holders, Colombia and Vietnam.
