Coffee Trends<\/p>\n

Idle curiosity got the better of me. Today I searched out the term Coffee Trends on Google, and I’m not terribly surprised at what I found. If you look back in time, you’ll find that where we were, in the ago, is an excellent road map as to where we are going. This concept applies to almost any historical data, and it applies to coffee too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coffee Started Out Where?<\/h3>\n

\"Coffee
\nYemeni coffee<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of conjecture about where coffee drinking started. Most folks think it was in what is now modern day Yemen. However, there’s little disputing that the growing of the coffee plants started in Ethiopia. However, it may have originated in Kenya, or Sudan, but most scholars pinpoint the start to Ethiopia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know that coffee is a fruit? Some call the bitter coffee plant fruit a cherry. It is not a cherry. The coffee bean is the pit of the fruit. It is not an actual bean, but a seed. A highly caffeinated, delicious seed, when roasted, anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is also a lot of conjecture, myths, really, as to who first roasted coffee beans, and why. Really, does it matter? This information is all lot in time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Humans are weird<\/h3>\n

Have you ever stopped to think about what we humans eat? Someone, once upon a time, kicked up a potato out of the ground. They looked at it and though, “Yay, a dirt clod! I’ll take it home, cook it, and slather some curdled milk on it! Yum!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, in some fashion some nut-ball took the coffee “cherry” seed, cooked in in a fire, crushed it up, then dissolved it in water to make a drink. Thankfully they did, by the way. they started the first of many coffee trends!<\/span><\/p>\n

This all took place, supposedly, in Yemen, where the drink became the favorite of Islamic religious leaders in the 14 or 1500’s. Back and forth through the centuries, coffee was banned, brought back, banned, etc. Seems that nothing this good could be, you know, good.<\/span>
\nThe coffee surge began into Europe in the 16th century, and from there the plant was exported to, well, everywhere coffee plants grow, for the most part.<\/span><\/p>\n
