Just a year ago, I started to work at a really famous cafe (maybe everyone has drunk it, and many people want to give their's coffee 5 stars!). After starting the part-time job, I have to drink coffee everyday to study the taste, fragrance, color, and so on... At first, in the fact, I didn't have interesting about the kinds of coffee. However, an event change my lazy mind!
It happened in April. When I work as a part-time job at the cafe like usual, my boss suddenly taught me the origin of the coffee beans. She said "These coffee beans are found by a boy. There is a boy in Ethiopia, and he wondered about that energy from one red beans. After he found the effect of one red beans; he started to drink it ." When I listened this history of coffee, I was drawn into the world of coffee, and I though that I have to know and tell about the knowledge of coffee as a staff of the cafe. This event happened in my usual part-time job made me study about coffee more.
And now, I'm reading a book; "Coffee Culture-Local Experiences, Global Connections". This book is written by Catherine M. Tucker, and it was published in 2011. In this book, the author taught me the history, and a lot of knowledges. Of course, there is a story of the birthplace of coffee beans, and my cafe which I worked sometimes appears:)
In this book, she said that coffee is a beverage that is drunk next to water and milk. In addition, the history of the connection between people and coffee is about 500 years. I was surprised the length of the history!
I haven't read this book enough yet, but I'm looking forward to reading the end of this book!
