Coffee Art

Coffee is a very popular drink world wide.

It is thought that its cultivation originated in Ethiopia

in the mid 15th century.

The beginning of coffee drinking is though to be started in Yemen

and then spread to the rest of the world.

Actually the word coffee originated from the turkish word kahve,

which was derived from the arabic word

قهوة.

Coffee is well known for its stimulating effect

because of its content of caffeine.

However, 1000 chemicals

have been reported in a roasted coffee.

Thats why coffee has mixed reports

of its benefits and harming effects.

As for me my favorite coffee is

medium turkish coffee and arabic coffee.

I always prefer black coffee, not so fond of milk.

But the most thing I love about coffee is its smell.

Coffee presentation has become an art.

And I wrote this post to share with you

some of the amazing what is now called

and wanted to share it with you all.
