You may not know about coffee.

On a sunny afternoon, will you often have a strong cup of coffee on hand?

You may have taken this as a habit that is hard to give up.

But as one of the most popular drinks on the planet, your knowledge of coffee may not be as thorough as you might think.

For example, how was coffee first discovered? How much water does it take to produce a pound of coffee beans? And what's going on with Kopi Luwak?

You may not know the following two or three things about coffee.

1. It is said that coffee was found by goats.

One of the most accepted theories is that a long time ago, an Ethiopian shepherd named Kaldi noticed that sheep became restless after eating ripe coffee beans, so they had coffee.

two。 Mocha was originally the name of a Yemeni port.

Mocha is the first port city in the world to spread coffee beans around the world. And Yemeni coffee beans are said to have a chocolate texture, which led to chocolate-flavored coffee being labeled mocha.

3. There are two types of coffee: Arabica and Canephora

Canephora is also more productive and contains more caffeine because of its high disease resistance. Arabica contains more fat and sugar, so it has a higher acidity, which leads to a richer taste and layer.

4. Growing coffee requires a lot of water.

Many people argue that animal husbandry consumes a lot of water, but according to FoodBev.com, it takes 1800 gallons of water to produce a pound of beef and 2500 gallons to produce a pound of coffee beans.

5. Coffee beans come in different colors.

The initial growth is green, as the maturity begins to turn yellow or even reddish, different varieties will produce different colors.

6. There are thousands of different kinds of coffee in Ethiopia.

In fact, we usually drink those kinds of coffee, but there are thousands of uncultivated coffee species hidden in the forests of Ethiopia.

7. A coffee tree can survive for 200 years.

When it first germinates, the top of the plant looks like a small seed until it flourishes and even survives for two centuries.

8. Coffee roasting companies buy coffee beans one year at a time.

Most coffee beans are produced once a year, so coffee companies usually purchase for more than a year and then store them with special fresh-keeping technology. Although it can be stored for a long time, it will also be shipped on the day of baking.

9. What's wrong with Kopi Luwak?

Asian palm cats are famous for eating wild cherry coffee, and the beans are fermented in the cat's digestive tract and pulled out whole. If this is not rare enough, there is a similar kind of coffee in Thailand, which is excreted through elephant droppings, called black ivory coffee.

10. Americans consume the most coffee, followed by Germany.

11. It is not easy to evaluate the taste of a cup of coffee.

In order to get an accurate evaluation of the taste of coffee, tasters need to drink a lot of coffee. Because the same cup of coffee will give different results in different parts of your mouth. (the tip of the tongue tastes more sweet, while the part near the throat tastes more bitter.)

twelve。 There is a special language to evaluate the taste of coffee.

The American Professional Coffee Association has produced a coffee taste table to evaluate the characteristics and shortcomings of different coffees. Positive comments included descriptions such as apricot or baker's chocolate, while concrete or straw was used as a negative evaluation of coffee taste. In fact, coffee tastes more than red wine. It has been studied that there are as many as 1500 kinds of coffee, but only 200 kinds of red wine have been found.

13. Espresso (Espresso) doesn't mean fast.

The word Espresso comes from Latin and means "press it out". In fact, a cup of espresso (Espresso) is no more caffeinated than blended coffee. Come to think of it, a cup of regular 8OZ coffee will certainly contain more caffeine than a cup of 1OZ concentrate.

14. Brewed coffee loses 70% of its flavor in two minutes.

According to Coffee Party officials, a cup of coffee loses its original flavor after 15 minutes.
