There are only 2 types of coffee beans available on the commercial market - aribica and robusta. Either can be grown in Columbia, Hawaii, Mexico, or any other place that is hospitible to the coffee plant. The difference is in the soil (nutrients), water (minerals) and temperature range. The aribica bean is considered the better of the 2 beans by most coffee drinkers. However, a robusta coffee bean grown under ideal conditions will make a better coffee than an aribica bean grown under poor conditions. The coffee growing region of Columbia presents a very favorable invironment to either coffee plant. Most of the coffee grown in Columbia is the aribica variety. Because the robusta plant is hardier and easier to grow, many if not most of the less expensive coffee on the market is either all robusta or a blend of robusta and aribica. In general, if the coffee package/can does not say 100% aribica it is either a blend of aribica and robusta or it is robusta only. Just because the coffee is advertised as 100% aribica, there is no guarantee it will be a good coffee. Then there are the variations that occur within a plantation due to soil variance and micro-climates and the rain year. This is much the same as vintage years for grapes.

What would happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee if the wages of coffee-bean pickers fell and the price of tea fell?

If the wages of coffee-bean pickers fell, coffee-bean companies would be able to hire more of them, because they could afford it. More workers can produce more coffee-beans, so supply increases. In this problem, it is implied that tea is a substitute good for coffee. If the price of tea fell, but the price of coffee stayed the same, people would switch to tea, to save a couple bucks. Demand for tea goes up, demand for coffee goes down.


What is the difference between coffee espresso and regular coffee?

Normal "American coffee" is brewed by mixing the grounds of roasted coffee beans with hot water, allowing the mixture to steep briefly, and then straining out the coffee grounds. This is an extremely simple process. "Regular coffee" usually means an 8 ounce cup of American coffee with a teaspoon of sugar, and a small amount of milk or cream mixed in. and Espresso can be made with the same coffee beans, and they can be roasted in the same way as for American coffee, although sometimes superior coffee blends - mostly Arabica - are used (because the resulting drink is more concentrated, and the flavor of inferior coffee will be harder to ignore), and sometimes darker roasts are used in espresso for a more intense flavor.
