The coffee roaster in this German cinderella is much bigger than the roaster in my shop.   |

I immediately thought of Afrique Equatoriale Francaise, Scott 193, YT 236: There's a mini-French Colonial omnibus issue from 1956 that isn't listed in my Dallay, but there are three more issues that make up the set: Afrique Occidentale Francaise Cameroun Madagascar In that case, let's show them all, for the sake of completeness: I hadn't realized that New Caledonia joined in on the coffee omnibus as well (this coming out in 1955):  |

I'm assuming it is coffee he was hoping for.  |

A welcome surprise, No idea this thread existed. Coffee : Widespread use from 1730 "Lloyd's coffee house" suggests 1668 as the beginning. Parry : "Trade and Dominion" Page 66 The income for which French and English expended so much naval effort was mostly derived from sugar. Many other cash crops were grown, or had been, but none ever approached sugar in quantity or profit. By 1700, tobacco had almost run its course in the French and British islands. So had cotton, also a small man's crop at that time. Tree crops were attractive, requiring relatively little effort; Labat praised cocoa, in particular, as a small man's crop; but many cocoa trees in Jamaica and St Domingue were destroyed in the late seventeenth century by blight, and coffee was not introduced on a commercial scale until the 1730. Ginger was never more than a sideline. Indigo was a valuable crop, a half-way house to large-scale plantership, but its cultivation and manufacture both presented technical difficulties, and no West Indian island produced indigo comparable with that of Guategiaja. Guatemala No West Indian product rivalled sugar. The demand for it' could be expanded indefinitely. Confectionery, the preservation of fruit, brewing, distilling, all required sugar. Cocoa and coffee might rival one another, and both, later in the eighteenth century, compete with tea; but all three, in most people's opinion, needed sugar to make them drinkable. Every West Indian planter on a big scale turned to sugar sooner or later, and having turned to it, he hardly ever turned back to anything else.

Coffee, at the beginning of the eighteenth century,
meant Arabian coffee, marketed at Beit-el-Faki in the Yemen
and shipped from Mocha or Hodeida on the Red Sea.
The Dutch governors-general introduced coffee trees into Java,
and the first small shipment of Javanese coffee reached the
Amsterdam market in 1712.
In terms of percentage profit, coffee was one of the most valuable
articles of trade at that time, surpassed only by the finer spices.
Saltpetre was a product of India, an essential raw material in the
armament industry; few Indiamen left homeward-bound without
hundreds of thousands of pounds of it, stowed in hundredweight bags
immediately above the keel.
Saltpetre and sundry other bulky and relatively cheap primary products
raw cotton, rice, sugar — were contemptuously lumped together under
the name of 'gruff goods'.

I once worked for an inspection and weighing company and sampled coffee beans, cocoa beans and raw rubber at the port terminal. The only thing I dreaded was sampling 20' containerized coffee sacks. I'd break the seal, unlatch the door and slowly open it while making sure there were no heavy sacks about to fall out. From there, I'd stick a stainless-steel sampler (pictured) into random sacks so that the contents flowed into small paper bags. Nevis presented this Export of Brazil coffee stamp sheet at the 2013 Brasiliana Intl. Philatelic Exhibition in Rio de Janeiro.
