Do yo know about coffee? #1 (permalink) Wed Jul 30, 2008 11:33 am   Do yo know about coffee?
 

There is a legend regarding the discovery of coffee. It is said that some 1000 years ago, an Abyssinian was attracted by the pleasant smell that come from a certain wild shrub that was burning. He chewed a few of its berries and liked the taste so much that he brewed a beverage from them, and thus discovered coffee. Until 15th century, Abyssinia in Eastern Africa was the only place in the world where the coffee plant grew. Then, it was taken to Arabia. For some 200 years, the world's coffee came from Yemen in Southern Arabia. In the 17th century, the Dutch began to grow coffee in Java and they distributed the coffee plants to several countries. The English took it to the island of Jamaica, from where it was taken to Central and South Americas. Since the coffee plant grows best in the tropical climate, Brazil is the greatest producer of coffee in the world.

To me coffee=Starbucks. Pity, they are closing hundreds of their branches all over the world now, to maximize profit.

Hi Ralf

In case you don't have psychic powers, I just wanted to let you know you might have to dial 00 before you call a-joy's cell phone number. The stars are telling me, however, that even if you dial the number correctly, you may only end up reaching some sort of mystic -- a mystical person who goes by a variety of names that you might not have heard yet.

As regards a-joy's institute, no, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with it, and it does not appear on Wikipedia's list of Konnagar educational facilities either. Do you suppose someone has sabotaged that Wikipedia list?
