Rogers Estate Coffees is pleased to review recent research studies revealed this week (18th and 21st June 2010) which claim that drinking coffee in moderation has great health benefits.

Forget people saying that coffee is bad for you; the latest research revealed today puts your daily cup (or 4!) on a pedestal - saying that coffee intake in moderation can fight cancers of the mouth and promote healthy hearts.

• Coffee lovers are 39 percent less likely to suffer from cancers of the mouth and larynx according to the latest research which used information gleaned from nine studies from Europe, America and Central America which compared the coffee drinking habits of over 5000 cancer patients and more than 9000 healthy people.

The UK coffee market is growing and is forecast to be worth £976 million by 2015 (Mintel 2010).

Recent news reports state that over 20 Million Brits pop out to a coffee shop for their daily coffee fix each week, with cappuccino or an espresso being popular choices (The Sun, 2010). 2010 statistics from consumer Intelligence Company Mintel indicate that the coffee market has grown in value by 17% since 2005 with consumers preferring to purchase premium coffee brands over the cheaper jars of instant coffee.

An increasing number of coffee lovers are not aware that their choice of coffee can impact thousands of people and nature in communities thousands of miles away.

There is an array of labels out there– each pledging to the consumer that their coffee is socially and environmentally responsible.

But how can you differentiate between fact and fiction? What do these labels actually mean for the farmers, workers and their families and the natural environment in these coffee growing regions?

Rogers Estate Coffees, the UK producer of gourmet coffee, has adopted its own standard: “Fairly Traded.” This program exceeds the goals of some labelling organisations such as Fair Trade and ensures that the workers who produce your coffee beans are given the payment they deserve. This is done through setting up long term contracts with single estate famers, which enable these coffee famers to treat their employees fairly, improve local ecosystems and make a decent profit.

Rogers Estate Coffees have now extended their product range of San Francisco Bay “Fairly Traded” ground coffee which aids farmers and workers and protects nature in coffee growing regions - with the launch of three new products, and from 17th February customers can enjoy free delivery on all orders over £4.95.

The newly added San Francisco Bay products are:

• Columbian Supremo ground coffee - which is a world renowned, full bodied coffee with an almost sweet taste . The second addition for those who prefer decaf is a decaffeinated version!

• Espresso Roast ground coffee – which is a very rich full bodied coffee that is perfect for regular coffee or an espresso – a perfect choice for coffee lovers!

Falling on 16th February this year, Shrove Tuesday is almost upon us - giving the perfect excuse to make some yummy pancakes. Once more, this age-old tradition reminds us of just how delicious and versatile pancakes can be.

For those of you who love coffee and pancakes alike, Rogers Estate Coffees, the leading supplier of gourmet coffee, has put together a nice adaptation of a Tiramisu Pancake Recipe.

Simply add a teaspoon of one of their flavoured roasted ground coffees to the Tiramisu Pancake recipe below and enjoy.

Coffee bean prices are set to rise after what was deemed the worst harvest in 35 years by the International Coffee Organisation (ICO). Both Colombia and Brazil, the world’s leading coffee producing countries, have experienced a poor crop in the last year.

In Colombia, this year’s harvest was the worst since 1974, due to bad weather, and was the third straight off-year. The ICO predicts that the coffee for the next crop year, beginning September 30, could fall well short of the 9.5 million bags predicted.

Bloomberg news reported that the price of coffee has already increased in New York and there are speculations of a similar effect to the global coffee market. “Premiums are bound to increase,” ICO Executive Director Nestor Osorio told Bloomberg on Friday.

With the start of 2010 upon us it is the time when everyone wants to make changes and New Year’s resolutions.

Instead of the usual self centred promises that we never keep like “I will join a gym” or “I will take better care of my finances”, why not think about making smaller changes that will have a big impact on those around you, such as your work colleagues and customers?

BRACKNELL, ENGLAND (Dec. 15, 2009) - UK customers can now treat friends and family to Christmas gift bags of “Fairly Traded” ground coffee and enjoy free delivery on all orders over £4.95. All purchases help workers and farmers while protecting nature in coffee communities from Mexico to Rwanda.

They may not realize it but hotel guests, office workers and café customers across the UK can - in a few seconds - join the fight against global warming, build a school or modern home for people or even save species like the Polymorphic Robber Frog or Painted Bunting Bird in communities thousands of miles away.
