Coffee and tea have been used for centuries for their therapeutic properties and the extra boost that the naturally occurring caffeine provides. In 1000BC an Ethiopian goat herder discovered coffee after he noticed his goats behaving very unusually. They were prancing and jumping about as if in the prime of life. The only reason seemed to be an unusual bush nearby. It turns out their hyperactivity was caused by consuming the reddish fruit from the nearby coffee plant..
The herder took some of these reddish fruits to the monks at the nearest monastery and they discovered that by boiling them into a stew one could extract the benefit of the caffeine. At first they made it into a stew but today we know it as a drink . Ever since then coffee has been at the center of many wars, farming fortunes, and pricey cafes.
Coffee decaf is a way of enjoying the taste of coffee without experiencing the jolt of caffeine that can sometimes occur. Some say that too much coffee isn’t good for your health while others swear it. Roasted beans can be purchased and ground at home as well to enjoy the freshest tasting drink right in your own home.
To do this, simply obtain some coffee beans that have already been roasted, then place them in an electric or hand powered grinder. Immediately after, use the coffee grounds in much the same way you would use tea. Fresh ground beans coffee are as close as you can get to fresh coffee without roasting the raw beans yourself.
