| Notes: | Label source: Royal Gardens Kew, Museum, Memorandum. Subject: Report on a sample of coffee (Coffea stenophylla) received from the Department of Agriculture - Trinidad Feb 27th 1911. Director, I have submitted the sample to a coffee expert in Mincing Lane, , London E.C. who classifies it as a very small coffee, not evenly cured and apparently immature. The colour is an improvement - upon that of African (Angola) coffee and coffee of this description would realise in the London market at the present time fro, m 56/- to 57/- per cwt. It may however be noted that the present market value of this product is somewhat high. It is suggested that a larger bean would find a better market and that the berry should be fully ripe before picking; should be carefully pulpe, d and the seeds washed and forwarded here in the parchment for the final processes. Signed The Keeper 3/3/1911. | ||||
