Curiosities
The French were the first to drink coffee after their meals, serving it strong and pure and small cups, usually with liqueur to help the digestion. The Cantata do Café, authored by Bach (1734), was a satire opera that depicted the bourgeoisie behavior. It narrates the efforts of a rigid father to control his daughter's propensity to drink coffee, threatening to force her to choose between a husband and coffee. Resolute, the daughter sings an aria that starts with the line: " Ah, how sweet is the taste of coffee - better than a thousand kisses, sweeter than muscatel wine".
In XVII century Europe, when coffee was not a popular drink, the courts and the bourgeoisie used to organize parties in which the main drink was coffee. Some guests would drink up to five cups. The Spanish were the discoverers of Cocoa in Central América, hence why coffee found resistance in Spain. Even though there was a coffee bar culture in the XX century, places in which customers were writers and artists, during many years chocolate remained the favorite drink of the most traditional people.
In Japan, where the national drink for almost one 1.000 years is the traditional green tea, coffee was introduced only in the XIX century, and its market is still not too active. However, the Japanese are also fond of the black grain. They lay among the toasted grains believing that those have skin beneficial elements.
