Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„On approaching the 16th century building, one sees the first sign of the 1930s: Parked outside is a vintage Austin A35 van with a traditional English teapot in the window. Inside this quintessential English tearoom with its oak beams, flagstone floors and period memorabilia, it is obvious that the aim is to provide only the best of everything—the best tea, the best coffee, the best linen (designed solely for the owners) and the ultimate best of experiences. It is probably the only village tearoom where it is virtually essential to book a table for lunch. Greeted by Douglas, who would not look out of place on a Poirot film set, and directed to a table in the intimate tearoom, the visitor confronts the unique problem of having to choose from among 50 varieties of tea, five cafetiere coffees and several speciality coffees, hot chocolate and a good selection of cold drinks, such as iced mocha, iced tea, botanically-brewed ginger beer, Victorian lemonade and elderflower cordial.“

Tips on Coffee - Studies on the side-effects of caffeine. (#)

„OAKLAND, California (UPI) -- Coffee may be good for life. A major study has found fewer suicides among coffee drinkers than those who abstained from the hot black brew.The study of nearly 130,000 Northern California residents and the records of 4,500 who have died looked at the effects of coffee and tea on mortality.Cardiologist Arthur Klatsky said of the surprising results, ``This is not a fluke finding because our study was very large, involved a multiracial population, men, women, and examined closely numerous factors related to mortality such as alcohol consumption and smoking.'' The unique survey also found no link between coffee consumption and death risk. And it confirmed a ``weak'' connection of coffee or tea to heart attack risk -- but not to other cardiovascular conditions such as stroke. The study was conducted by the health maintenance organization Kaiser Permanente and was reported Wednesday in the Annals of Epidemiology.“

Caffeine and your body. - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada (#)

„Caffeine is an addictive drug, affecting 90% of all Americans, which alters the brain's natural state, and stimulates it in a manner similar to the amphetamines cocaine and heroin. The mechanisms employed by caffeine, cocaine, and heroin, are to close blood vessels in the brain, so the brain and body cannot sleep, to cause the release of adrenaline into the body, so the body remains active and alert, and to manipulate dopamine production in the brain, so the person experiences a temporary "high." Caffeine may be found in its natural state in many plants, including tea leaves, coffee beans, and cocoa nuts. The pure form of caffeine is a bitter, white, crystalline powder derived from the decaffeinating process of coffee and tea. The vast number of products in which caffeine comes, range from coffee, to tea, to colas, to milk chocolate, and to pain relievers, just to mention a few.“

Home Espresso FAQ (#)

„Interestingly, Mr. Schomer is also known to say, "Forget espresso at home!"     A single shot of "True Espresso," as defined in the specialty coffee trade, requires a precise weight of finely ground coffee (7 grams) to be tightly packed (tamped) into a filter holder so that hot water (not-quite-boiling water, between 195 and 205 F -- 88 and 92 degrees C; boiling water or steam will utterly incinerate coffee's delicate essences), moving under at least nine atmospheres of pressure (at least 130 pounds per square inch -- or some unknown number of ergs, Newtons, Joules or kiloPascals), will take 20 to 30 seconds to extract exactly one fluid ounce of the magical liquid.     When everything is working perfectly, espresso dribbles out of the filter in a heavy stream displaying the consistency of warm honey. The Italians call this “coda ti topo,” tail of the mouse.“

The Javagirl Goes A-Cupping (#)

„is the difference in taste and smell, or does one coffee pack a punch while the other is an easy breeze? I decide to go to the folks who should know: Peet's Coffee and Tea, a California roaster/retailer which offers a "Coffee 101" class to its customers to answer these very questions. On the week I set aside for my research, no classes are on tap, but since I'm a regular at my neighborhood store (and a coffee columnist to boot), I get the gracious Peetsters to agree to a private cupping. Luckily, I've got a couple of German houseguests around (my friends Friedrike and Birgit), so I submit three palates to the wonders and virtues of coffees from around the world.“

„It can be concluded that coffee possesses greater in-vitro antioxidant activity than other beverages, due in part to intrinsic compounds such as chlorogenic acid, in part to compounds formed during roasting such as melanoidins and in part to as yet unidentified compounds. Authors of a study published in 2002 (13) suggested that uric acid was the main component responsible for plasma antioxidant capacity increase after tea drinking, whereas molecules other than uric acid (probably phenolic compounds) are likely to be responsible for the increase in plasma antioxidant capacity after coffee drinking. Whether the antioxidants characteristic of coffee are protective against chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer remains to be determined.“

„Data were prospectively collected at three time points during gestation on coffee, tea and caffeine intake and on a wide variety of confounders. After adjustment for most of the confounders, coffee, tea or caffeine consumption were significantly associated with reduced birth weight. However, when the data were also corrected for smoking, these associations were no longer significant. In a prospective cohort study which recruited 431 pregnant women and identified all spontaneous abortions after day 21 of gestation and made 7 prospective assessments of caffeine intake, there was no association between caffeine intake and early foetal growth as assessed by crown-rump length on ultrasonic examination (16).“

Before There Was Tea, There Was Coffee (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„For almost 100 years, coffee was the hot beverage of choice in England, and, unlike the English family’s tea of the last 200 years, it was not consumed at the breakfast table or indeed at any other time or place in the home. Instead, from about the mid-1600s through the mid-1700s, men (and just about all pictures from the period show only men in coffeehouses) drank their coffee in London’s coffeehouses while they transacted business, discussed politics, and shared literary works in progress. By 1700, there were probably over 2000 coffeehouses in London, or one for every 300 inhabitants.“

Of 1,000 office workers surveyed for Volvic mineral water, 76% said they drank tea, coffee or caffeinated cola more than three times during the working day, with one in 20 consuming more than 10 drinks. Stress specialist Dr David Lewis, who analysed the research for Volvic, is calling for traditional morning and afternoon breaks to be scrapped. Toilet visits He said: "Our clinical research found that a high caffeine intake (more than 350mg during the working day) acts as a powerful diuretic and causes people to visit the toilet more frequently, which can lead to performance-zapping dehydration.“

History of Coffee from Coffee Universe (#)

„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. The Italians perfected this wonderful machine and were the first to manufacture it.“

The tea ceremony is consciously structured as a communal meditation devoted to contemplating the presence of eternity in the moment.“

„How Tea Is Made There are only 3 different types of tea: black, oolong, and green. Everyone thinks that herbal tea is tea, but it really isn't tea, just like chicory grounds aren't really coffee. All tea comes from the tea plant; Latin names of the species are Camellia thea, Thea sinensis or Camellia sinesis. The plant has shiny green leaves and small white flowers.“

„The alternative solutions are many, and some apparently still survive as part of the cuisines of Africa and Asia. The berries can be fermented to make a wine, for example, or the leaves and flowers cured and steeped in boiling water to produce a coffee tea. In parts of Africa, people soak the raw beans in water and spices, then chew them like candy. The raw berries are also combined with bananas, crushed, and beaten to make a sort of raw coffee and banana smoothie.“

„It is generally assumed that a decrease in the supply of calcium, an essential mineral for bone formation, would be likely to decrease bone mass and hence increase the risk of fracture. A number of intervention trials have focused on the effects of coffee, tea or caffeine on calcium balance. Although such studies can show cause effect relationships they cannot establish whether the magnitude of the effects on calcium balance observed are large enough to influence bone health.“

The net result is that a cup of tea contains roughly one-quarter the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Caffeine content is nearly identical in all shades of roasts of coffee.“

„When the British sought to punish the colonies by unfair taxation on tea, coffee became not only the preferred drink, but the patriotic one as well. The East India Company couldn't conceive of the colonists doing without tea, so they sent over a full cargo of tea in a marketing scheme that would pay the taxes to the King, but cut out the middle-man merchants. This scheme infuriated the colonists.“
