Dear Coffee I Love You

Image
“An old proverb says: “To an old man a cup of coffee is like the door post of an old house—it sustains and strengthens him.” Civilisation, as it has moved on , has produced only three important non-alcoholic beverages—the tea plant, the extract of the cocoa bean, and the extract of the coffee bean. Leaves and beans—these are the vegetable sources of the world’s favourite nonalcoholic table beverages. Of the two, the tea leaves lead in total amount consumed; the coffee beans are second; and the cocoa beans are a distant third, although advancing steadily.  Coffee is universal in its appeal. It has become recognised as a human necessity. It is no longer a luxury or an indulgence; it is an epithet of human energy and human efficiency. People love coffee because of its two-fold effect—the pleasurable sensation and the increased efficiency it produces. Coffee has an important place in the rational diet of all the civilised people of earth. It is a democratic & revolutionary beverage.
