Salvador MeEdonca, Brazilian Con

Salvador MeEdonca, Brazilian Con-
sul-General says: The reason Rio cot
fee is not quoted high in this market is
that only the lower grades of Brazilian
coffee are called Rio coffee. The best
coffee from Rio de Janeiro is called
Java Mocha" etc. You see the
planters send their coffee to Rio and
then it is all mixed together, the good
and the bad, in order to get an average
price. When it gets here it is Ia
ken to large coffee houses, where the
work done in Rio is undone, the coffee
being sorted out into different grades
and various names given it. The low
est grade is called Rio. As matter Of
fact some of the best coffee we get comes
from Brazil.
