Are you one of the many people who own a mug that says, "Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee?" For many Americans, having a cup of joe is a daily ritual. Millions of Americans drink coffee everyday, with women drinking more than men. Interestingly, despite our many choices, the traditional latte is the most ordered coffee in the United States. Not bad for a drink that dates back centuries ago.
You have undoubtedly tried various kinds of coffee and consumed them for different reasons. However, the sheer number of options available may feel daunting to you. Do you know the difference between a cortado, an espresso, and a cappuccino? Any person who enjoys coffee will find that there is a lot to learn about them, and the diversity adds to the whole excitement.
There's an interesting story about how coffee was discovered, which has something to do with goats. Apparently, a goat herder from Ethiopia noticed that his goats seemed more "lively" after eating coffee berries. The goat herder then shared his discovery with a local monk who made a drink with the beans. It kept him awake at night while he prayed and also helped with concentration.
If you go beyond the latte, we're confident you'll find that the world is full of hidden gems when it comes to coffee. Have you tried Türk Kahvesi? Or Kopi Luwak prepared with the beans collected from the feces of the Asian palm civet? How about the famous Yuanyang of Hong Kong? The varieties are endless, and we sure hope we'll taste them in our lifetime!
