A cup of Coffee

When do you drink coffee? Morning, Afternoon, Tea time, Night. Coffee is very popular drink all over the world today. I think some of the people drink coffee, but other people don’t. But what in the world do we know about coffee?

Last August, luckily, I had a chance to take part in a coffee seminar. Then I studied so many things about coffee and cultures. First thing I studied was the cultivation of coffee. Coffee is produced between the tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn. About 70 countries which are almost starving nations make coffee. It is hard to grow coffee trees. Coffee trees can grow over 1000 meters above sea level and the trees grow from 9 to 12 meters. Tall coffee trees need over high trees which are called shade tree to protect from the sun burn. Coffee trees are weak in high temperature and high humidity. And then, it takes 5 years to able to harvest. If you want 100 grams of roasted coffee beans, you have to pick 500 grams of raw coffee beans.

Next thing is coffee is good for our health and daily life. I think most of you drink coffee at study time, that’s because coffee keeps us awaking. Coffee effect not only sleepiness but also fatigue. The smell of coffee has long been known to have an aromatherapy effect. We can relax to smell delightful aroma of coffee. It stimulates part of the brain and produces a good feeling. New research from Oakland, California, says that coffee may protect the livers of heavy alcohol drinkers. The more coffee people reported drinking, the less likely they were either to be hospitalized or die of liver cirrhosis.

I drink coffee casually, but I found coffee is very deep and wonderful drink. If we drink coffee, we can save famine-ridden people. I thinking that being interested in a familiar and livings are important.
