Welcome to The Amazing World of Coffee!An Exploration and An Education...Now that we've explained Lakota's philosophy on some of the more important issues, we're ready for some serious coffee training. This training manual resides within the address of our coffee information website. It's called Specialty-Coffee-Advisor.com and it's designed to supply free information to our prospective customers, based on key-word-focused content. As an example, open a new tab or window in your browser and type in the search term "worlds best coffee". Google and most other search engines will show SCA in the number one spot. Worlds Best Coffee and several other solid keyword search terms supply Lakota Coffee Company with a small but steady flow of new customers for retail and wholesale coffee. The reason I'm explaining this, is that the information I've created for our customers is exactly what we want you to learn and know. This is the first page in our manual that shows the Navigation Bar just as our customers see it when they find SCA. It's a live Nav Bar but I have supplied links below to the pages I'd like everyone to read. Each page you go to will open in it's own window. That way when you're finished, you can just close the page and be right here where you left off. Also, for customer friendly navigation, you'll notice plenty of in-site links on the pages you'll be visiting, that are designed to help people quickly surf to the information they most want to read. For purposes of continuity, please don't use them at this time. You will be reading all of those pages anyway, but in the order that will best facilitate training. I think you will enjoy exploring "The Amazing World of Coffee". It really is quite fascinating! This site has been designed to be an easy and enjoyable read. I hope you find it so!
Note: There is quite a lot of information here but please read it carefully. There is a significant amount of content on each of these pages that you can skip over, as it is clearly designed for site navigation and sales. I just want you to focus on learning about coffee! SO... Kick back, get yourself a coffee or tea and read up! It is important that you know this material reasonably well because it will help you immensely in providing excellent service to our customers. There will be random questions from all of these pages to test your knowledge of this material.
Quick Links to The Amazing World of Coffee!SO! Do you have your hiking boots on? Here we go... We'll begin our journey with a look into some fun facts & coffee history... One of the most interesting facts in the history of coffee is that wherever it has been introduced it has spelled revolution. It has been the world's most radical drink in that its function has always been to make people think. And when people begin to think, they become dangerous to tyrants and to foes of liberty of thought and action... From his book - All About Coffee America's love affair with coffee began officially at the Boston Tea Party. Shortly afterward, to protest the British Crown's Tea Tax, the Continental Congress declared coffee to be the country's national beverage. This may be why, to this day, it's difficult to find anything but "instant coffee" in Great Britain! The story of coffee would make an epic film. It is a story of sacrifice, seduction, controversy, political intrigue and religious persecution involving thieves, saboteurs, savage rulers, sleepy monks, songs and pirouetting goats. It's a great mixture of fact and fantasy, just like real life. Now a few of the more interesting excerpts from that colorful history:
