Introduction to Rare Coffee Varieties and Naming Methods

1. Starbucks (USA, founded in 1971)

Starbucks coffee shops are filled with rich North American atmosphere. Here, you can taste over 30 varieties of carefully roasted premium coffees from coffee-producing regions such as Central America, Africa, and Indonesia, while also experiencing the flavors of a series of handcrafted drinks and freshly baked pastries offered by Starbucks.

All Starbucks coffees are freshly ground within 1 hour to preserve the original coffee flavors from Indonesia and Latin America. Starbucks' standard is: made fresh on the spot for each customer's order, completed within 20 seconds, and immediately served to the customer.

A rich-textured, uniquely flavored, aromatic espresso is precisely Starbucks' signature weapon.

2. Doutor (Japan, 1962)

Doutor Coffee, with 1,222 chain stores, attracts older Japanese customers. Its prices are very low, the environment is less ornate and sophisticated, and customers are allowed to smoke in the stores. In the face of economic depression and declining incomes, people are drawn to Doutor's low prices.

3. Tchibo (Germany, 1949)

Headquartered in Germany, Tchibo claims to be the world's fifth-largest coffee seller. The company's logo features golden coffee beans on a blue background. Germany's Tchibo sells coffee along with various consumer goods. Most cafés sell predictable items: besides lattes, you can order Italian cookies or a piece of cake—perhaps even a CD. But in Tchibo's more than 1,200 cafés scattered across Europe, you can always buy something new from the waitstaff—such as a telescope, mobile phone, or cordless drill.

Over the past 5 years, "Second Cup" has announced a 31-33% share of the Canadian market, surpassing Starbucks' 24-29% market share—making Canada the only country where Starbucks bows its head in the international market.

6. Segafredo Zanetti (Italy, 1962)
