2. Coffee

Hello my babies. I am having my coffee number 4 today and I cannot have enough. Seriously! Even if I have slept enough hours... without a coffee in the morning I just feel that my eyes starts hurting and I need a coffee to keep them open. This is not good people! But it leads me to my new thing on the blog "you learn something new everyday"


It takes about 5 years for a coffee tree to grow mature and one tree can live for abour 60 years, it can also flower 8 times in one year. Coffee has been used as a beverage for over 700 years and some facts for the ladies.... black coffee with no sweeteners contains no calories ;) If you drink one cup of coffee that has been brewed for 20 minutes with a substance called phytochemical that works as antioxidants and it will stay in your body for up to 30 days. Caffeine also increases the effect of some painkillers, especially aspirin and paracetamol, so if your hangover... have a cup of coffee with your pills.

A tip is to, when you go to buy a perfume... have a couple of coffee beans with you to sniff between the the perfumes to "neautralise" your smell.

Coffee is the second most traded product in the world and Brazil is responsible for around 40% of the world’s exportation of coffee but there are 65 countries in the world that grows it, all along the equator.

About 1400 million cups of coffee are drunk every day worldwide so go on... have yourself a cuppa.
