Coffee Trivia
brazil coffee stamp

• In December 2001 Brazil produced a scented postage stamp to promote its coffee � the smell should last between 3 and 5 years

• In the 16th century, Turkish women could divorce their husbands if the man failed to keep his family's pot filled with coffee!

• To make a roasted pound of coffee it takes around 2,000 Arabica coffee cherries. With 2 beans per cherry - this means around 4,000 beans are in a single pound of coffee.

• In Sumatra, workers on coffee plantations gather the world's most expensive coffee by following a gourmet marsupial who consumes only the choicest coffee beans. By picking through what he excretes, they obtain the world's most expensive coffee -'Kopi Luwak', which sells for over $100 per pound.

• Coffee, if it were taxed like wine, would be more expensive than it.

• Cappuccino is so named because of the drink's peak of foam which resembles the cowl of a Capuchin Monk�s habit.

• The English word "Coffee" comes from the Latin name of the genus Coffea. The genus Coffea is a member of the Rubiaceae family. All species of Coffea are woody and range in size from small shrubs to trees over 30 feet tall. The species Coffea Arabica gives us the well known Arabica beans. Arabica beans are largely drunk on their own, where as the Coffea Robusta is usually a lower grade bean used primarily as a blend with Arabica beans to make them go farther.
