Tales from the coffee trade: Guardian in-depth report on the journey of the coffee bean to the coffee shop.
Consumer Affairs division: Mister Bijou's price watch. The Li Ka-shing owned local supermarket chain Park'N Shop has bags of 500 gram Melitta ground Cafe Mocha coffee. For months, the Mocha was retailing at HK$89.80 (with occasional price cut to HK$79.90). The price now is HK$99.80 ( but currently on 'special offer' at HK$92.80).
Even so, I remain amazed and grateful that Mocha is available on a little island in the South China Sea. But consider those numbers. My guess is that none of that price increase is going to the miserably paid coffee growers.
