Many legends have tried to explain the origin of the coffee bush for ages. Widespread all over the world, the drink produced from its fruit is nowadays consumed by almost all inhabitants. The use of coffee in medicine started in the Middle Ages as a result of writings and documents of Arabian doctors, inside and outside the Muslim world. However, it was not until its chemical composition was studied in the XIX Century, that its beneficial stimulating effects were explained.
The same as wine, coffee varies according to the country of origin, production area and soil. Atmospheric and growing conditions and the characteristics of bean collection – automatic or hand selection- as well as the blends produced modify the coffee. Throughout the years all this has resulted in a drink with increased taste and smell.
The objective of this work is to remember the story that goes together with that “cup of coffee” we enjoy every day, with our friends.
