Coffee Quebec

* Steeping: o A French press (or cafetière) is a tall narrow glass cylinder with a plunger that includes a filter. The coffee and hot water are mixed in the cylinder (normally for a few minutes) before the plunger, in the form of a metal foil, is depressed, leaving the coffee at the top ready to be poured. o Coffee bags (akin to tea bags) are much rarer than their tea equivalents, as they are much bulkier (more coffee is required in a coffee bag than tea in a tea bag).

For over 4000 years, Red Reishi mushrooms have been most revered in traditional Chinese medicine equaling ginseng as a premier substance for the attainment of radiant health, longevity, and spiritual attainment.

Traditionally, Reishi has been used as an anti-aging herb to treat many diseases and disorders. Daoist traditionalists rever this mushroom as the elixir of immortality, claiming it promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, and inner awareness and strength.

Reishi contains sterols, coumarin, mannitol, polysaccharides, and triterpenoids called ganoderic acids. It is thought that ganoderic acid lowers blood pressure, LDL (low density lipoprotein cholesterol), and triglyceride levels.

The triterpenoids also play an important role in lowering the risk of coronary artery disease.

The Quebec tea and coffee industry is the eighth largest manufacturing branch of the food and beverage sector, with $378 million worth of manufacturing shipments in 1999, up 31% from 19946. The size of the industry, which employs 716 people (1997 data), is all the more remarkable given that supplies of raw materials come entirely from abroad.

The $200 million plus anual in added value illustrates how dynamic the coffee roasting and marketing sector is in Quebec.

The variety in manufacturing shipments in the Quebec tea and coffee industry reflect fluctuations in the world prices of the commodities on international markets.

Overall consumption is fairly stable, so annual variations of 5–10% in world production cause sharp price swings. 3,300 -- number of cups of coffee that are consumed each second worldwide

6.3 million -- metric tons of coffee produced in the world in the 1999-2000 crop year
* 25 million -- number of farmers who grow coffee worldwide, the majority on small-scale farms
* 600-800 AD -- the era in which an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi reportedly discovered coffee after observing that his goats become very excited upon eating coffee berries
* 60 -- percentage of Ethiopia's export earnings derived from coffee sales in 1995
* 40 -- percentage of coffee-growing lands in Colombia, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean that are "technified" sun coffee plantations, where coffee is densely planted with little shade cover from native trees and doused with chemical fertilizers and pesticides
* 90 -- percentage drop in species of migratory birds found on technified sun coffee plantations as compared to traditional shade-grown coffee plantations
* $80 million -- U.S. Agency for International Development funding for projects in the 1970s and 1980s that encouraged Latin American farmers to switch to technified coffee-growing methods
* 80 -- average milligrams of caffeine per cup of coffee, in a study of Canadian homes, offices, and coffee shops
* 402 -- number of cups of coffee consumed per capita in Canada in 1997, 77 more than in the U.S. and 152 more than in Europe
* 20-300 -- micrograms of caffeine per liter of output from a typical municipal wastewater treatment facility. (Caffeine is often one of the highest volume contaminants in the morning, thanks to all those early cups of java.)

Frost, which hit the big coffee-producing areas of Brazil in 1994, led to a significant hike in prices, which in turn had an impact on the value of shipments from 1994 to 1997. The shift in demand to speciality products with greater added value explains the upward trend in shipments.
