When I was living in Colombia I did a study of el cafeto (coffee bush) which focused on how Colombia managed to cultivate the best in the world (altitude, soil, sun, temperatures, avoiding diseases, growing, harvesting, drying, etc.), but they also know plenty about brewing. If you can speak Spanish, you'll glean some useful info from this site: National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia. You can access an English version page from there, but the Spanish site is better if you can handle charlando en castillanito. Kreskin was amazing. Said so himself.
