Coffee’s Journey Around the World

Coffee was first discovered in Eastern Africa in an area we know today as Ethiopia. A popular legend refers to a goat herder by the name of Kaldi, who observed his goats acting unusually frisky after eating berries from a bush. Curious about this phenomenon, Kaldi tried eating the berries himself. He found that these berries gave him a renewed energy. The news of this energy laden fruit quickly spread throughout the region.

Hearing about this amazing fruit, Monks dried the berries so that they could be transported to distant monasteries. They reconstituted these berries in water, ate the fruit, and drank the liquid to provide stimulation for a more awakened time for prayer.

Coffee Leaves Africa
Coffee berries were transported from Ethiopia to the Arabian Peninsula, and were first cultivated in what today is the country of Yemen.

From there, coffee traveled to Turkey where coffee beans were roasted for the first time over open fires. The roasted beans were crushed, and then boiled in water, creating a crude version of the beverage we enjoy today.

Coffee Arrives in Europe
Coffee first arrived on the European continent by means of Venetian trade merchants. Once in Europe this new beverage fell under harsh criticism from the Catholic Church. Many felt the pope should ban coffee, calling it the drink of the devil. To their surprise, the pope, already a coffee drinker, blessed coffee declaring it a truly Christian beverage.

Coffee houses spread quickly across Europe becoming centers for intellectual exchange. Many great minds of Europe used this beverage, and forum, as a springboard to heightened thought and creativity.

Coffee Travels to America
In the 1700′s, coffee found its way to the Americas by means of a French infantry captain who nurtured one small plant on its long journey across the Atlantic. This one plant, transplanted to the Caribbean Island of Martinique, became the predecessor of over 19 million trees on the island within 50 years. It was from this humble beginning that the coffee plant found its way to the rest of the tropical regions of South and Central America.

Coffee was declared the national drink of the then colonized United States by the Continental Congress, in protest of the excessive tax on tea levied by the British crown.

Espresso
Espresso, a recent innovation in the way to prepare coffee, obtained its origin in 1822, with the innovation of the first crude espresso machine in France. The Italians perfected this wonderful machine and were the first to manufacture it. Espresso has become such an integral part of Italian life and culture that there are presently over 200,000 espresso bars in Italy.

Coffee in the 21st Century
Today, coffee is a giant global industry employing more than 20 million people. This commodity ranks second only to petroleum in terms of dollars traded worldwide. With over 400 billion cups consumed every year, coffee is the world’s most popular beverage. If you can imagine, in Brazil alone, over 5 million people are employed in the cultivation and harvesting of over 3 billion coffee plants.

Sales of premium specialty coffees in the United States have reached the multi billion-dollar level, and are increasing significantly on an annual basis.

(Sing)
I’m quicker than a cancer
And I’m not satisfied
I’m the nick on your chin
I’m the dent in your ear
And I’m not satisfied
There’s nothing I need, nothing I want from you
Still I’m not satisfied
I’m easy as gin
I’m as gentle as sleep
But I’m not satisfied
I’m hard like a ball
I am tight as a wire
But I’m not satisfied
There’s something I need, something I want from you still
I’m not satisfied
I’m lost in your eyes
I’m found in your place
I’m outside your door but you’re inside my space
I’m the stain on your sheets that you’ll never erase
I’m stretched thin as paint that I threw in your face
Is there something you need or something you want
From the nothing I got from you
Still you’re not satisfied
You’re not satisfied
I’m not satisfied
(Somebody’s song)

at least Mondays only happen Once a week!

Interesting how the color of the first crayon is dominant on the bullet

Everybody hate Monday

But i realized,every single things happen on Monday will influence on others day

Monday is not my favorite Though

Look at the Bright Side, at least Mondays only happen Once a week!

I have to find my MONDAY

influence my whole week

Made  my Days

———-

WOULD YOU BE MY MONDAY?

is more make sense than

WOULD YOU BE MY VALENTINE?
