If you are a coffee enthusiast and are always striving to find the best coffee possible, then this article is a good place to find the best coffee this globe has to offer for your bean to cup coffee machine. We run down the top 5 most expensive coffee in the world, where you can find them and how much they will cost you:
5. Fazenda Santa Ines, Minas Gerais, Brazil: $50 (£31) per pound - Brazil have a long and renowned history of producing first rate coffee, and the Fazenda Santa Ines is no exception, as this has to be the finest coffee to come out of Brazil. This high quality, hand picked coffee is very lively and bright and is famous for its citrusy aroma and subtle texture. This is a coffee with a chocolate tinge and is frequently served creamy. In 2006 this coffee was declared the highest rated in Cup of Excellence of Coffee award in 2006, which goes someway to justify its expensive price. This coffee is a great advert for the crops and the coffee of Brazil.
4. El Injerto - Huehuetenango, Guatemala: $50 (£31) per pound - Coffee has been grown in Guatemala since the beginning of the 18th century. One of the most popular harvesting areas is Coban, which is well known for its cloudy and rainy weather, which many believe is a vital contributing factor towards its incredible taste. The El Injerto coffee originates from the Huehuetenango region in Guatemala, and can boast accolades such as first prize in the 2006 cup of excellence, third place in 2002 and sixth place in 2007.
3. St. Helena Coffee From St. Helena Coffee Company, St. Helena: $79 (£49) per pound - St Helena is a small, mountainous, sub tropical island of 47 square miles, situated in the South Atlantic Ocean. It has been noted that coffee beans have been grown on the small tropical island since 1733, and over the last 10 years, St. Helena coffee has become known to coffee connoisseurs world-wide, who have been mesmerised by its unique quality. Only natural fertilizers are used in their crop, and livestock manure is not used as it may contain non-organic substances from concentrated animal feed or veterinary treatments. The coffee is also wet processed using pure spring water descending from the Island's peaks, along the Central Ridge.
2. Hacienda La Esmeralda, Boquete, Panama: $104 (£65) per pound - Esmeralda pride their selves on supplying completely ripe, red fruits, that will only ever be hand picked from the crops. The coffee goes through a vigorous quality assurance procedure as each harvester's production for the day is weighed and inspected for defects or green beans. This coffee has been known to be quite a light roast, medium brown with no oil on the beans, and has a spicy odour to it.
1. Kopi Luwak Coffee, Indonesia: $160 (£99) per pound - Kopi Luwak coffee is the rarest gourmet coffee which originates from Indonesian island of Sumatra. The coffee gets its name from little mammals called 'Luwaks' which live in trees and eat the red, ripe coffee cherry. They eat the cherrys with the bean intact and it undergoes chemical treatments and fermentations, before finishing its journey through the digestive system. The still-intact beans are collected from the forest floor, and are cleaned, then roasted and ground just like any other coffee. The coffee is second to none, with a rich heavy flavour that contains hints of chocolate and caramel. The price of this coffee is so expensive because of its rarity, but if you are a real coffee lover, who enjoys the finer things in life, then this may be worth a go.
Health Benefits of Greek Yogurt
Greek Yogurt is a great golden snack to include in your every day calorie reduction plan. Having a thicker thickness than American style yogurt, it can provides a rich fufilling effect to keep your hunger at bay. It is thoguht to be a mix between non-fat yogurt and cheese. This is primarily due to the straining process that removes much of the whey. While it promotes stomach health and balances your digestive tract, the fundamental proteins also help build healthier bones and build up immunity. No matter how you slice it, consuming this yogurt over others may be a smart choice. It all comes down to preference, but learning more before you make your decision can't hurt!
Protein:
Greek yogurt usually carries two times as much protein in one serving when compared to American yogurts. In a typical 6-ounce serving, one can consume 15 grams of protein over the usual 7 to 8 grams found in regular yogurt. This extra protein aids in putting that lost energy just when you need it. It also helps you feel delighted and allows for a full stomach in between meals. This is essentially helpful when is comes to weight management.
Lower Sodium:
This is important when thinking about an equalized diet, one in which high blood pressure and bloating are not present. People often try to avoid high sodium when choosing their yogurt in order to avoid long-term health risks. Compared to regular yogurt, Greek yogurt contains roughly 50% less sodium. This cutback in milligrams will aid in the inclusive benefits that yogurt can and should provide during consumption.
Carbohydrates:
If you are following an Atkins Diet (or just want to keep those nasty carbs down!), then this is the yogurt for you. With just a part of the carbohydrates of the other yoguts, it provides you with a guilt free way to have breakfast, lunch, a snack, or even a dessert (with honey).This is of course assuming that there are no sugery additives in your yogurt. Make sure you read the nutrition labels before you purchase your product. If you are looking to consume only about 6-9 grams of carbohydrates, stick with original! It is just as good!
Yay for Vitamins!While containing generous amounts of calcium and phosphorus, around 20 percent of your daily values, it also contains ten percent of your daily vitamin B12 needs. The former helps build strong bones in your body, which has a lasting affect on your stamina and health. Vitamin B12 aids in the base of red blood cells and gives you energy. This makes Greek yogurt an excellent snack choice before a workout!
Calcium:
Although it has less calcium than regular yogurt, it is due to the very exclusive process of how it is made. Often times using a muslin cloth, the product is strained in order to reduce a majority of the whey. This allows for it to be digested more easily in the stomach. This can be a benefit to those who are sensitive to high amounts of lactose in their diet. In fact, this creamy and more smooth yogurt provides moderate amounts of lactobacteria.

Rice Production in Indonesia
Indonesia is one of the world's leading rice producers, with paddy production in 2003 of more than 50 million tonnes and a cultivated area of more than 11.5 million ha. Since 1980, Indonesia's national rice yield has been the highest in tropical Asia. Indonesians are also big consumers of rice, averaging more than 200 kg per head each year.
Rice is grown at varying altitudes, with about 75 per cent of plantings in irrigated areas and less than 10 percent on rainfed lowlands. Most rice production takes place on the island of Java under irrigation. Lowland varieties belong mainly to the indica sub-species and about 85% of them are high-yielding.
The area planted to rice increased by 33% between 1969 and 1990. Since then, however, the conversion of many ricelands in Java to non-agricultural uses has contributed to a fall in total output. Sustainable rice production requires the development and deployment of new rice varieties and crop management technologies and approaches. Indonesia achieved rice sufficiency in 1984. From being a chronic rice importer in the 1970s, Indonesia today is the third biggest rice producer in the world, and has been consistently so in the past decades. Between 1970 and 2006, Indonesia's average rice yield rose by 90% from 2.35 t/ha to 4.62% t/ha. Today, Indonesia is the 4th most populous country in the world. A population increase of 1.5% per year requires a corresponding increase in food supply.
It is in this context that Indonesia's agricultural development program now has three main aims: a) increased national food security through higher food production and lower food imports, b) increased added value and competitiveness of agricultural products, c) improved quality of life and less poverty for farming households through high productivity. Spatial information of Indonesian rice paddies is required for regional rice cropping/water managements and estimates of rice yield. Necessary information for informed management includes rice cropping frequency, rice ecosystem type (irrigated, rainfed lowland, upland, and flood-prone), and areal distribution. This research applies the multi-temporal satellite imagery for mapping rice paddies with different rice ecosystems over Indonesian.
Rice cultivation covered a total of around 10 million hectares throughout the archipelago, primarily on sawah. The supply and control of water is crucial to the productivity of rice land, especially when planted with high-yield seed varieties. In 1987 irrigated sawah covered 58 percent of the total cultivated area, rainfed sawah accounted for 20 percent, and ladang, or dryland cultivation, together with swamp or tidal cultivation covered the remaining 22 percent of rice cropland. Swampland in Indonesia is the most important remaining land resource for the development of new rice fields. However the development and maintenance costs for the infra-structure are high. The environmental impact of a new development could be considerable.
