Fun facts about coffee

Coffee was originally chewed.

According to many historical sources, the first African tribes to consume coffee ground the berries together and mixed them with animal fat.

Where coffee comes from

There are a few theories about the origin of coffee, but the best-known story is that one day a pastor in Ethiopia noticed his goats eating the fruit from a coffee tree, so he tasted it himself and shared with others how good it felt.

Decaf still has caffeine.

Decaffeinated does not mean caffeine-free; it means that the caffeine has been naturally removed or reduced. However, to be truly classified as decaffeinated, the coffee must have less than 0.3% caffeine.

The most expensive coffee is animal poop.

The most expensive coffee is Kopi Luwanda, which comes from Rwanda and is made using rare green beans and special processing. The coffee is produced using the secretion of the luwanda, a cat-like animal. This secretion is produced during the digestion of coffee berries and is collected to make coffee. A cup of Kopi Luwanda sells for anywhere from $30 to over $100.

The largest producer of coffee is Brazil.

Brazil is one of the largest coffee producers in the world, accounting for about one-third of the world's coffee production. Rich soil and a favorable climate make Brazil an ideal place for coffee production. Brazilian coffee remains in high demand worldwide and is an important export commodity for the country's economy.

Coffee can extend the life of cats.

It may be a coincidence, but Creme Puff, the 38-year-old cat listed by Guinness World Records as the "oldest cat in history," has been drinking coffee with her owners since she was a kitten. Of course, this doesn't mean that coffee can help extend your life.
