“NATIONAL COFFEE DAY”
(SEPTEMBER 29TH)
.
“coffee talk”
(italian ‘caffe’)
(roasted seeds of the “coffee plant”)
(coffee is ‘brewed’)
(‘drip brew’ (or ‘filter coffee’) is a method for brewing ‘coffee’ which involves pouring ‘water’ over roasted ground coffee beans contained in a ‘filter’)
(“coffee” is a ‘brewed drink’ prepared from ‘roasted coffee beans’, which are the ‘seeds’ of ‘berries’ from the coffea plant)
.
(the genus ‘coffea’ is native to…)
‘tropical africa’
‘madagascar’
‘the comoros’
‘mauritius’
‘réunion’
(in the ‘indian ocean’)
.
(the plant was exported from ‘africa’ to countries around the world)
.
(‘coffee plants’ are now cultivated in over 70 countries’, primarily in the ‘equatorial regions’ of…)
*the ‘americas’*
*southeast asia*
*india’*
*africa*
.
(the 2 most commonly grown are…)
*the (highly ‘regarded’) ‘arabica’*
*the (less ‘sophisticated’ but ‘stronger’ + more ‘hardy’) ‘robusta’)
.
(once ‘ripe’, ‘coffee berries’ are (‘picked’ / ‘processed’ / ‘dried’))
(‘dried coffee seeds’ (referred to as ‘beans’) are roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired ‘flavor’)
(‘roasted beans’ are ‘ground’ + ‘brewed’ with ‘near-boiling water’ to produce ‘coffee’ as a ‘beverage’)
(coffee is slightly ‘acidic’ and can have a ‘stimulating effect’ on humans because of its ‘caffeine’ content)
(‘coffee’ is one of the most popular drinks in the world)
(it can be prepared + presented in a variety of ways
(e.g., ‘espresso’, ‘French press’, ‘cafe latte’, etc.))
(it is usually served hot, although ‘iced coffee’ is also served)
(clinical studies indicate that moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly beneficial in healthy adults, with continuing research on whether long-term consumption inhibits cognitive decline during aging or lowers the risk of some forms of ‘cancer’)
(the earliest credible evidence of coffee-drinking appears in the middle of the 15th century in the ‘Sufi’ shrines of ‘Yemen’)
(it was here in ‘arabia’ that coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed in a similar way to how it is now prepared)
(‘coffee seeds’ were first exported from ‘East Africa’ to ‘Yemen’, as the ‘coffea arabica’ plant is thought to have been indigenous to the former)
(‘Yemeni’ traders took coffee back to their homeland and began to cultivate the seed)
(by the ‘1500s, it had reached (‘persia’ / ‘turkey’ / ‘north africa’)
(from there, it spread to ‘europe’ + the rest of the world)
(‘coffee’ is a major export commodity: it is the top agricultural export for numerous countries and is among the world’s largest legal agricultural exports)
(it is one of the most valuable commodities exported by developing countries)
(‘green’ (unroasted) coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world)
(some controversy is associated with coffee cultivation and the way developed countries trade with developing nations and the impact of its cultivation on the environment, in regards to clearing of land for coffee-growing and water use)
.
(consequently, the markets for “fair trade coffee” + “organic coffee” are expanding)
