Truly Great Coffee
Legend has it that 9th-century goat herders noticed the effect caffeine had on their goats, who appeared to "dance" after eating the fruit of the Coffea plant. A local monk then made a drink with the produce and found that it kept him awake at night, thus the original cup of coffee was born.
Early on, people mixed coffee berries with fat to create an energy-rich snack ball, according to PBS. They would also ferment the pulp to make a wine-like drink (yum!?).
Growers predominantly plant the Arabica species. Although less popular, Robusta tastes slightly more bitter and contains more caffeine.
Today, Brazil produces about third of the world's supply, according to the International Coffee Organization, about twice as much as the second place holder, Vietnam.
An eight-ounce brewed cup of decaf coffee actually contains two to 12 milligrams of caffeine, the Mayo Clinic states. In comparison, a regular cup of coffee supplies between 95 to 200 milligrams, while one can of cola has aout 23 to 35 milligrams of caffeine.
The happiness
taste.
A new study from Yale University in the United States shows that a hot drink affects our sociability and the way we think about someone.
More specifically, because it raises our temperature, makes us more sociable, warm and open people. It also brings us closer to others, makes us more generous and less skeptical.
In fact, this situation is connected with the first environment that man knows before coming to life, which is none other than the warm belly of his mother.
Did you know that? Maybe yes, but maybe not! Now you know! So come and enjoy your hot coffee!
