The coffee plant<\/h2>\n

The coffee plant was discovered around the 10th<\/sup> or 11th<\/sup> century in Ethiopia, so it was here that coffee was first made from the coffee plant. Then this quickly spread to Yemen, where coffee plants could also be found. The coffee plant has more interesting facts besides a rich history, for example, did you know that:<\/p>\n

  • Coffee beans, as mentioned above, are not real beans. The coffee bean as we know it is the kernel of a coffee berry.<\/li>\n
  • \"\"The coffee plant produces between 1.4 and 2.5 kilograms of berries per year! So a single coffee plant already produces quite a number of berries, which means that a lot of coffee can be made from the production of one coffee plant!<\/li>\n
  • \"\"Coffee plants were used before coffee was made from them. Mainly for its uplifting properties, such as caffeine that make you feel exhilarated.<\/li>\n
  • \"\"Coffee beans lend themselves perfectly to freezing, therefore the coffee bean does not lose its flavor and you always have fresh coffee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

      • \"\" Coffee naturally contains more aromas than a glass of wine.<\/li>\n
      • \"\" Do you have a very bitter coffee bean? Then it has been roasted longer.<\/li>\n
      • \"\" Coffee has no taste, but aroma. What aroma is found in coffee has to do with its origin.<\/li>\n
      • \"\" The coffee most commonly consumed is the one without milk and sugar. This is because milk and sugar reduce the coffee flavor of the delicious coffee bean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
