A cup of hot coffee energizes tired or sleepy minds and helps us start the day on the right note. Having a cup of coffee is the first thing that many people do in the morning. It is a breakfast beverage for a lot of people. Its intense and refreshing aroma boosts energy instantly.
Coffee is nostalgic for me. I remember my childhood days waking up by the aroma of coffee that my mother was preparing in the kitchen.
It is believed that this popular drink was discovered by goats.
I’d like to share an old story about the discovery of coffee. Once upon a time in an Arabian land there lived a herder. One day his goats did not return to their shed in the evening. The next day morning the herder went in search of them and he found them dancing near a shiny dark-leaved shrub with red berries. The herder found out that the red berries on the shiny dark-leaved shrub were the reason for their strange behavior. Thus coffee was discovered.
And nowadays, different types of coffees are available from hot to cold. Many popular coffee shops serve different types of expensive coffees.
