Coffee

Today we are going to learn a little but about something I know and love…

And no, today’s post is not about me (although I’m sure you all would eat it up) but as the title implies, I’m going to give you a little bit of a lesson on coffee…

Now, since there is so much I could teach you (and that would be without delving into the topic of fair trade in a world economy) I will narrow it down a little and limit my discussion to regions where coffee is grown…

Arabian Coffee:
Conveniently named after the place it comes from:


Columbian Coffee:
Conveniently named after the place it comes from


Sumatran Coffee:
Conveniently named after the place it comes from


Java Coffee
Conveniently named after the place it comes from


Okay, so this isn;t really a discussion, but it will prove my point...

I had a lady come in and ask us if we have any 'real coffee'

I pointed towards our java coffee (as after 6pm thast all we make)...

She demands to know where the 'real' coffee is...

I try to explain to her that Java is a coffee producing region and the namesake for the coffee with which we are serving...

She shakes her head and in a huff, she parades off to the coffee stand...

She pours 3/4 of a xtra large coffee and then screams at me "this is disgusting; I dont want this shit!" (she hadn't sampled any of it yet)

She storms out of the store, and tries her best to slam the door (doesnt work so well with automatic closing mechanisms)...

So I just wanted everyone to know that Java coffee is called such for a reason...
