A cidade de Salvador era antigamente chamada de Bahia, inclusive por moradores do próprio estado. Também já recebeu alguns epítetos, como o de "Capital da Alegria", devido a seus enormes festejos populares, como o seu carnaval, e "Roma Negra", por ser considerada a metrópole com maior percentual de negros localizada fora da África.

The Cup of Excellence award recognizes the pinnacle of flavor and quality in specialty coffees grown in Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua and provides enormous economic benefits to participating coffee regions. To participate, coffee growers submit samples to a national, then international, invitation-only jury that evaluates every detail from aroma, flavor, and acidity, to body and balance. The winning coffees are sold at auction to the highest bidder at very high prices, which reward these quality farmers for their hard work and dedication. Very few coffees ever receive the "best of the best" Cup of Excellence honor.
