Not necessarily. Brazil, Indonesia , Colombia and the Middle east (In civ with Harun and Suleiman) are the biggest exporters of coffee. Since all the others are in the game, there are not many possible options.

And Vietnam. Vietnam's currently the second biggest producer of coffee in the world, though not a lot of people know about that.

I just remembered a funny thought that I've had since the days of Civ 3.
If wheat is a resource that appears only on a few plains tiles and not at all on grassland tiles...then what exactly are your citizens harvesting when they're getting food
from plains and grassland tiles that don't have wheat on them?
Similarly, if fish only appear on a select few coast tiles, then just what exactly is that food your people are extracting from the other coast and ocean tiles that don't have fish on them? 
Just a random thought I had.
I already have an answer, but I want to see what you guys think.

The few tiles that do have wheat and fish on them are just large surpluses to be noted. The rest are just too small to be noted.I just remembered a funny thought that I've had since the days of Civ 3.

And never mind that you can't lasso up those cows/horses and bring them along with you to "plant" a ranch somewhere else.

Yup, that's what I thought too.
Even the most advanced civilizations never could seem to figure out a way to introduce all those cows and sheep and horses to other places, or figure out how to breed more of them.

No, that's not what he said. He said he couldn't give away the resource as new information since it was tied to the new civ. Not: he couldn't give the new resource because it would give away the civ
Maybe that indicates it's unique, maybe it doesn't. But there is no way of us knowing

To bring up a new ressource that I think I haven't seen so far:
Ceylon (Tea) for the Tamils?
(And coffee would clash with Austria's UB to a degree so I'd guess they'd want to avoid it. What would they drink in a Viennese Coffee House when they don't have access to Coffee? Tea? Tz...)

Well, in a Viennese coffee House I dont know, but in a Dutch Coffee Shop you can find some nice stuff
A list of random Civs gives no credit to your argument. I have suggested Cuba because they're a well known influential Civ who have a very well known influential leader and they can be tied to a resource.
The majority of what you have suggested would be virtually unknown by most, have not been as influential and can not be easily tied to a resource by the average player.
If you disagree, give reasons.
The only leader that would justify Cuba's inclusion, in my opinion, is still alive. They've never added a living leader to my knowledge. The link to a resource is no stronger than most of the other civilizations that have been offered up here. There has been little fan demand for Cuba, and I do not see them utilizing one of the new mechanics. For these reasons, Cuba seems unlikely to me.

IMO the only way any aspect of Cuba could ever be in a civ series is with a Carib civ.

Well, people are right tht Havana would make a nice city-state. I could see them as militaristic.

Cuba isn't influential, and Castro's influence doesn't really extend outside of Cuba and to a certain extent, Venezuela. But, now that Chavez is dead changes may be made. Cuba's economy has always been super weak or controlled by foreign powers, so its forced to rely on foreign powers for aid (USSR and Venezuela.) It's government has been in the hands of dictators for the past 70 years or so, and its communisn hasnt spread really. The biggest claim to fame it has is that it was almost a launch pad for Soviet Missiles. Cuba does not deserve to be a civ, but in all fairness neither did half of the civs on the list above.

Not up to date in this thread, but in case it hasn't been mentioned, the spacereactor article hints at coffee: "More resources were confirmed, however no specific ones were revealed. Coffee was not confirmed nor denied, but it looks likely (and logically) that it will be in. The Q&A seemed to suggest that."

just fyi that spacesector article was written by some dude who listened/watched the Q/A presentation and read other previews. He's just guessing that coffee will be in. If he wasn't, he would have mentioned WHY Coffee is "logically" going to be in.

Yeah, poop flingers were neither confirmed nor denied as a new unit, either.
But the thing is that this resource being included would have been a dead giveaway as to what civ would be in. Coffee being included wouldn't spark anyone to suggest a coffee-producing civ is getting in, because Brazil already covers that. It also wouldn't be a giveaway BECAUSE coffee is so widely grown. Had he mentioned coffee, we would just accept it as a new lux because it's as inconspicuous as fish, spices, and gems.

Hemp resource, with Jamaica. Bob Marley as supreme leader! :-D

JK... My hopes and reasons are the three missing civs for go with:
Khmer (present in all other Civilizations game; one of their wonders are already in civ 5. As it was the Cristo Redentor (for Brazil) and Gibraltar (for Marrocos).
Gran Colombia (related to cofee, Simon Bolivar was indeed a great leader, respected by all, and if they plan to add ideological stuff to the game, he was an enthusiast to the nationalist movement of the XIX century and also a "rival" of Pedro II in South America) and inspired the newest nationalist movement of the XXI, the bolivarismo, present in Equador, Venezuela and Bolivia, all former part of the Gran Colombia Empire.
The third one will be a "solid choice", present in former games. So i think it would Zara Yaqob with Ethiopian Empire. It will part of the African scenarium...
