Coffee comes from cherries, you twit.
So that hot black liquid we like to think of as "sexy" or at least sensual, it's not from a bean at all.
I remember the days back when I used to claim I hated cherries. Yet, in reality, we owe them a hell of a lot more than we thought we did. From espresso served in an authentic Italian cafe latte to a bad mug of sludge shoveled into tacky Starsucks cups - you name it, they all come from what? Trees. Cherry-like fruit trees. Arabica fruit trees, at that.
Nobody explained that when you picked up an espresso bean to fall enamored over it. Nobody told you that when you were all thinking "maybe it's from Italy". Nobody made a peep when you pondered it's origin, what it looked like before it got to you, or what it's mother used called it before she sent it away from home. Nobody told you coffee was a fruit seed.
So. We all thought we were great coffee...no, no espresso aficionados.
Turns out we hardly knew anything at all.

:o Caffein? What's caffein?!
Haha! I'm teasing ;D Yes, in fact, that I *did* know. But not that we found ours in cherry-like fruit seeds! ^.^
Early risers, late night studiers, four day drivers all around the world need caffiene it seems.
Yet another atempt to conquer that most villainous enemy sleep.
