Ode to coffee…

March 20, 2007

Here I sit in what I believe to be the finest coffee shop this side of ever. It’s a little mom and pop kinda place in the heart of Macon, Georgia and it is the best, The Joshua Cup be its name. Of course I am a little biased cause I use to be a barista here (that means a professional coffee maker for those of you who drink tea). Anywho, I thought I would just take a little time to say how much I love coffee and give you a few FYI facts about coffee in general. Did you know?…

-coffee has been around since the 15th century, at least in drink form

-It was first noticed for its high energy effects by a goat herder who noticed that his goats got really hyper when they would eat certain trees, i.e. coffee bushes

-Coffee is now the most traded commodity in the whole world besides oil

-I drink about 3 cups of coffee a day, how many do you drink?
