Latte English-speaking countries "latte" is shorthand for "caffelatte" or "caffellatte" (from "caffè e latte", "coffee and milk"), which is similar to the French "café au lait", the Spanish "café con leche", the Catalan "cafè amb llet" or the Portuguese "galão." The Caffe Mediterraneum in Berkeley, California claims Lino Meiorin, one of its early owners, "invented" and "made the latte a standard drink" in the 1950s. The latte was popularized in Seattle, Washington in the early 1980s and spread more widely in the early 1990s. In northern Europe and Scandinavia, a similar "trend" started in the early 1980s as "café au lait"
Coffee production in Papua New Guinea Highlands (45%), Eastern Highlands (37%), Simbu (6%), Morobe (5%) and East Sepik (5%). In the late 1990s, the country produced an average of 1.18 million bags annually, of which all were exported. Washed mild "arabica" highland coffee dominates the industry in Papua New Guinea (PNG), accounting for 95% of production, the other 5% being lowland washed "robusta." The "robusta" coffee is of poorer quality, being darker, more bitter, with less flavour that the Arabic variety is generally used for cheaper instant coffee. On the other hand, the higher quality "arabica" coffee is generally sold for making espresso, cappuccino and latte
