COFFEE REMINISCENCESAccording to Nestle, “coffee plant can live for between 60 to 70 years. It can take up to four years for a coffee tree to reach maturity and start to bear fruit. The two main coffee bean species grown commercially are Arabica and Robusta. Coffee is one of the world’s most consumed drinks, after water. In fact over 1400 million cups of coffee are drunk around the world each day. The majority of coffee is enjoyed at breakfast. Coffee is one of the most traded commodities in the world. It is beaten only by oil. The English word ‘coffee’ originates from the Arabic word ‘kaweh’ meaning strength or vigor.”So many recollections about coffee while I was growing up in the tropics in a provincial setting:We’ve enjoyed picking-up some of the richest and colorful coffees. Yes, we playfully gathered those kaleidoscope colored beans. As kids, we plainly appreciated climbing up the trees and picking up the biggest red ripe berries and sometimes greenish colored we could get – tasted the sweetness of the fruit beans, and spit out the seeds. Coffee (kape) black- no sugar, poured in with evaporated/condensed milk was the order of the day in our native house. I am amazed to remember that I didn’t get hungry or wanting to eat something after our day’s ritual of drinking this beverage.Seattle is blest to have giant Starbucks’ Howard Shultz to commercially globalized coffee drinking, also inspired entrepreneurs here and there, & created jobs around the world. Thankfully, coffee drinking became a must to have, early morning, and has added beauty to Seattle’s landscape. However, established as it may seemed, a niche is still open for a coffeeshop that should be open for everyone during the wee or unlikely hours in the morning on a cold, very cold temperate Seattle, Washington State zip code 98101. All these, contributed to the concept of cafédeliSeatle. Now, providing plain natural/organic coffees –plus fresh, free ranged bakeries served daily!! ................
