Five exciting coffee facts

Do you love the smell of roasting coffee in your new BlueTongue Home? Here are five exciting coffee facts that will have you at the coffee machine in no time.

 1. Coffee was said to have been discovered in the 9th century by an Ethiopian goat herder. The goat herder noticed that his goats became more energetic after eating berries from a specific tree. After reporting his findings to the abbot of his local monastery, the first pot of coffee was brewed!

 2. Finland is the country that consumes the most coffee on a per-person basis. The average Finn consumes four cups a day! The drink became so popular that two 10-minute coffee breaks are legally mandated for Finnish workers.

 3. Brazil produces 40% of the world’s coffee supply, which is by far the most of any country. There are over 220,000 coffee plantations, covering a massive 27,000km2 of Brazilian land.

 4. Coffee is actually a fruit! Coffee beans are the pit of a berry that grows on the Coffea arabica bush. These bushes take 2-3 years to produce harvestable beans.

 5. There are two primary types of coffee. Robusta coffee has a strong flavour and is more acidic with a higher caffeine level, while Arabica coffee is known for its smooth flavour and lower acidity.
