COFFEE....UMMMMPHHHH...YUMMY<3

I am actually enjoy reading the article given as I like to drink coffee, however never know the process of making coffee and how coffee was found, who is the founder and how did it spread to the whole world until now. Besides, I also dos not know that there are many types of coffee and even they have been classified due to its quality. How surprised is it right? 


By reading the article give me some information about coffee like the founder of coffee is an Ethiopian goatherd named Kaldi. He found it when his goats were behaving very strangely by jumping around and almost dancing. Then, he noticed that the red cherries from a plant that the goats were eating. He tried some himself and was surprised by the feeling of extreme happiness and excitement. Moreover, at first coffee was not been drink but as a food. The coffee berries was mixed with animal fat and usually been used by monks to stay awake during long hours of prayer. Yemen later was cultivated the coffee berries and the first hot drink was developed there. Three centuries later Muslims were keen coffee drinkers and as Islam spreads, so did coffee. However, the beans were smuggled out of Arabia to other countries and now the largest coffee producer in the world is Brazil. Besides, coffee contain large amount of caffeine thus it can stimulate the nervous system. However, cannot drink coffee in large amount and every day as it can cause anxiety and restlessness. Moreover, bean belt is the band around the middle of the world between the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer. A coffee plant likes lots of rain and shaded sun with rich soil, and the climate in the bean belt is ideal. The stronger is Robusta which can survive in higher temperature and lower altitudes. The coffee is roasted for depends on the market as only 7 minutes for the North Americans who prefer a light roast, but double that time for espresso coffee favored by the Italians. Nestle and Kraft account for almost 80% of all the instant-coffee sales worldwide. It is an interesting story right about coffee and a lot of information is given by the article.
