＊Book Review＊５

Hi!
In this blog, I 'm gonna talk about Ethiopia's coffee.
As you know, coffee was born in Ethiopia, and it is so important history for today's coffee history.
Also, it looks smoothly to be spread to all over the world.

However, Ethiopia struggled to protect intellectual property rights to the names of the coffee-producing regions provides. And it means how we can corporate and compete to control property rights to valuable commodities. Then, the Ethiopian government applied to trademark the names of "Harrar", "Yirgacheffe", and "Sidamo". Each of these trademark have unique flavor characteristics.
And Starbucks coffee already had applied for a trademark for these coffee; Sun-Dried Sidamo.
In 2007, the Yirgacheffe was granted by office, and Starbucks are managing the image carefully.

When I read this part, I thought it is difficult to keep and manage the good image of the coffee for a long time. And I thought people who have connections with coffee beans have to share the merit  with everyone. So coffee pickers' hard works will decrease.

＊Book Review４＊

Good evening:)
Today, I'm gonna talk about coffee pickers.

First, I have a question to you!
When you eat or drink something, do you think about the hardships of makers?
My answer is "NO"...
I always drink or eat foods so naturally and, I don't imagine the scene of making food.
However, this book says that coffee pickers are the incessant labor.
Usually, we imagine a beautiful plantation of coffee from coffee's package, however it issn't paradise!
Coffee pickers have to do exhausting work everyday, and they hope the work become easy...

Secondly, we always connect with coffee physically, symbolically, and dimensionally.
Physical connect is a "bite". Also, symbolic connect means that coffee manifested in ritual practices. Finally, economic connections mean consumer willingness to drink coffee drives the commodity chain.

I always drink coffee naturally. However I learned that we have to thank to coffee pickers and people who have connection with a coffee.

GOOD MORNING☀︎

Today, I'm gonna introduce about my book.

 In the USA, most of adults drink coffee. Also, 82% adults drink THREE cups of coffee per a day!

Well, Why is coffee one of the world's most popular beverages in the USA? It relates the USA's combination of wealth, trading power, and fondness for coffee. 

 Coffee in daily American life have so long history. Also, the media has played a role in sharing and shaping coffee consumptions in the USA. 

 During 1990, columbian coffee was used a new ad campaign. This campaign made coffee popular. Also, a similar situation happened for the instant coffee; Nescafe Gold Blend.

However, during the late 19th century, soda waters became popular beverages in the USA. Then Soft drinks especially Coca-cola have been competing with coffee for over a year.

I was so surprised about 82% adults drink three cups of coffee per a day! I think many american people have to wake a long time to work with caffeine. 

About Coffee

Hello!

Let me introduce how to taste coffee.

Some people add milk or sugar in coffee.

However, I think black coffee is the best way to taste and know about coffee.

In this video, JJ Beans teach us the good way to taste coffee.

First, we need a good cup of coffee and a sense of taste and smell. Also they recommended to use "French Press" to brew coffee beans

Important way to taste good coffee is feeling the 5 distinct qualities such as aroma, body, acidity, flavor, and finish. We can classify the difference of taste and smell of many kinds of coffee like nutty, creamy, oily, fruity, and so on.

I like the compatibility between milk chocolate and dark coffee.

If you have any opportunities to taste coffee, you should try it:)

＊Book Review＊２

Hello!
Today, I will introduce the part of my book.
You know the reason of choosing this book, and the popularity of the coffee.

Coffee isn't only to enjoy the taste but also to offer little nutritional benefits!

Coffee is primarily more traded dollars than any other food and natural resources.
Also, petroleum(a component of oil) and coffee evaluate first and second rank in global trade.
The reason is that they can compose energy sources.

I was so surprised that coffee can be used as energy sources, and I'm so glad to be able to find the new thing about coffee!

I'll write other interesting, attractive, and intelligent information again!

Luke's lobseter

Hello!

Yesterday, I went to the lobster sandwich's store with my friends.

The store's name is "luke's lobster".
This shop located in Harajuku, and there are so long line! We waited about 20minutes.
The home of this shop is New York, and there are two sizes; regular size and US size.
Regular size's lobster roll uses 3 lobsters and other one uses 5 lobsters in each sandwich!
This lobster roll has the tastes of garlic and butter, so it was crispy and so delicious!

If you have the chance to go to Harajuku, I recommend it!
