Mark, You may well be a coffee grower, roaster and exporter but it's obvious you do not deal with espresso. Let me quote from coffeeresearch.org;
>>quote<< Coffee Blending is necessary for espresso since a single coffee origin will lack the complexity desired. It is important to remember that the advantage of espresso over other brewing methods is a result of the formation of the crema. Without the crema the espresso would be strong, thick coffee. The crema is an emulsified layer of tiny, smooth bubbles that trap aromatic compounds. This layer coats the tongue and these small bubbles break over time allowing espresso to be enjoyed long after it has been consumed. An aromatic coffee, therefore, is essential to a well prepared espresso blend. The majority of the espresso blend is made up of a base of coffees from Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, Panama or any other origins that contribute a non-overbearing flavor while still contributing to the body and sweetness of the coffee. Small ratios of coffees from Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Venezuela are used to add body, acidity, and flavor to a coffee blend. Since these coffees are often very acidic, they are used in small amounts. To add complexity and brightness when blending espresso, Ethiopian Harrar, Kenyan, Yemen Mocha, Zimbabwe, and Zambian coffees are used. Ethiopian Harrar adds a powerful aroma of blueberries or raspberries while Kenya coffee adds a powerful brightness. To add richness and body when blending for espresso, coffee from the Asian Pacific, such as Sumatra, Sulawesi, Java, East Timor, New Guinea and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe are used. Yirgacheffe has a potent, flowerlike aroma. >>end quote<< Italy is STILL the premiere provider of espresso coffee. They don't grow the beans but their blends and methods of roasting result in an espresso sought the world over.
