Evidence exists to the fact that caffeine has been used as a stimulant far back into periods of early history. One of the most famous poets of all time Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who is better known as the author of the Faust legend, reportedly gave a young chemist known as Friedrich Ferdinand Runge a number of coffee beans. Runge had been carrying out some chemical analysis on extracts of belladonna and Goethe suggested he do the same with coffee beans. It was from these coffee beans that Runge isolated caffeine sometime around the year 1819, ever since then we have been in cognizance of the effects of caffeine.
In reality it was way before this period that people were aware of the effects, this is because people were aware of the stimulating effects of coffee ever before the reason behind these stimulating effects were known. Chinese people were reputed to have taken advantage of the caffeine content found in tea as far back as 2700 BC .Coffee was available in South Africa in the 6th Century AD, civilizations in pre-Colombian South Africa were known to have drank both coffee and chocolate and both these products are widely known for their caffeine content.
Since caffeine has been around for as long as we can remember and even before then, it is rather difficult to pinpoint precise details about the history of caffeine. Different stories abound about the ancient uses of caffeine and one popular one is about a goat herder who discovered the stimulating effects of caffeine after his herd of goats had eaten a crop of coffee beans. He tried the beans and he reportedly experienced the effects himself. The veracity of this story however, is probably rather suspect.
Caffeinated soft drinks instantly became all the rage and even those who were happy enough receiving their stimulant via coffee picked up the occasional sugary drink. What made this a true turning point in the history of caffeine, however, is that for the first time children began ingesting it. In fact, large numbers of children started getting the rush of caffeine and the health risks associated with this is still being debated today as the soft drink industry continues to thrive.
At the end of the 20th century, caffeine sort of became the most popular legal drug in the world and it is used in one form or the other in different countries. For most of history, the story of caffeine has been the history of coffee but this has changed in recent times as caffeine is now found in tea, soft drinks and a multitude of other products as well.
Yes, for most of the history of caffeine, it was inextricably tied to coffee and tea. They made perfect delivery systems for the drug. Unless, of course, you didn’t much care, or couldn’t afford, coffee or tea. Although the first espresso machine appeared almost in conjunction with Runge’s discovery, it wouldn’t be until the 1880s that a method for delivering caffeine into a beverage artificially was discovered.

Coffee is a brewed beverages with a dark, slightly acidic flavor prepared from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant, colloquially called coffee beans. The beans are found in coffee cherries, which grow on trees cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in equatorial Latin America, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa.

Coffee berries, which contain the coffee seeds of "beans", are produced by several species of small eve
rgreen bush of genus Coffea. The two most commonly grown are the highly regarded Coffea arabica and the 'robusta' form of the hardler Coffea canephora. The latter is resistant to the devastating coffee lust rust (Hemileia vastatrix). Once ripe, coffee berries are picked, processed, and dried. The seeds are then roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor.They are then ground and brewed to create coffee. Coffee can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways.

The history of coffee goes at least as far back as the thirteenth century. It has been believed that Ethiopian ancestors of today's Oromo people were the first to discover and recognize the energizing effect of the coffee bean plant. From Ethiopia, coffee was said to have spread to Egypt and Yemen. The earliest credible evidence of either coffee drinking or knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the fifteenth century, in the Sufi monasteries of Yemen. By the 16th century, it had reached the rest of the Middle East, Persia, Turkey, and northern Africa. Coffee then spread to Italy, and to the rest of Europe, to Indonesia, and to the Americas.

In 2009 Brazil was the world leader in production of green coffee, followed by Vietnam, Indonesia and Colombia. Arabica coffee beans are cultivated in Latin America, eastern Africa, Arabia, or Asia. Robusta coffee beans are grown in western and central Africa, throughout southeast Asia, and to some extent in Brazil.

Dearest my "C" passion,...

C for Coffee, is my passion, since a long time ago, when I was young, I first had my coffee drink in my hand at the age of 12 years old or as much as I can't remember exactly... Since then, I started to like them and drink them behind my parent's back, because they said, coffee is not suitable drink for my age on that time. Apart from that, my ancient's family business was a coffee beans seller (from my mum sides, the Armenian). 

Therefore, I started to draw my life in a cafe's life-style, spending my spare time in between those cups and glasses with accompany of cookies, biscotties, cheese cake etc. Wow, a BIGno-no for diet reason eiyy...

Today, the more I get to know about "C", the more I am into them... my heart is just like a coffee bean...
Fills up my brain with creativity in making of coffee beverages adds-on with many flavors... that's what i called fun way to do... 


I hope you will find this kind of passionate as much as i do, by visiting my Suryo46 Coffee House, at jalan Suryo no.46, Blok S, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. 12180. Meet me there, and we can discuss or just having a chat about coffee whenever you like. Thanks very much indeed for your attentions.
