Whole Bean Coffee

Emil Laurent, in 1898, discovered a species of coffee growing wild in Congo. This was taken up by a horticultural firm of Brussels, and cultivated for the market. This firm gave to the coffee the name Coffea robusta, although it had already been given the name of the discoverer, being known as Coffea Laurentii.

Coffee is undeniably the most favorite drink in the world. Each year, there are over 500 billion cups consumed. Coffee is also one of the world’s most traded commodities as it also accounts for 1/3 of tap water consumption. To support this high degree of consumption, many countries are engaged in growing coffee plants.
