History of Coffee from Coffee Universe (#)
„This one plant, transplanted to the Caribbean Island of Martinique, became the predecessor of over 19 million trees on the island within 50 years. It was from this humble beginning that the coffee plant found its way to the rest of the tropical regions of South and Central America. Coffee was declared the national drink of the then colonized United States by the Continental Congress, in protest of the excessive tax on tea levied by the British crown. Espresso, a recent innovation in the way to prepare coffee, obtained its origin in 1822, with the innovation of the first crude espresso machine in France.“

„ Obviously, our client didn’t share any of our reservations, as the coffee bar was stunning—contemporary with a true Caribbean feel. In the midst of the impoverishment, the coffeehouse boasted small, hand-crafted tin roofs covering the entire bar area, and the décor was a mix of soothing, pastel colors complementing indigenous artwork. What took us by surprise the most, however, was the ingenuity of our client to have cut a grand, arching opening in the wall between the coffee bar and his pizza business next door so people could easily walk from one business to the other.“
