At the recent coffee conference (Miami University, Ohio), Stephen
Topik pointed out the strange invisibility in coffee advertising since
the late 1800s of Brazil as the country of origin for a particular
coffee. I know that in visiting coffee shops I see coffees labeled
for Ethiopia, Sumatra, Hawaii, etc. One hundred percent Colombian is
an old coffee ad. My questions: in fact, is Brazil practically
invisible in coffee labels of place of origin? If so, why?
