ResponderEliminarI always thought that coffee was a dessert, but it´s also a way of keeping you awake. Adult people usually have a cup of coffee after a meal or when they are inactive. Do you know that the most expensive coffee in the world is monkey poo? The monkey eats the coffee grains and then it expelled it. I love coffee despite its flavour is a bit strange, but I will have it when I´m a bit older.

Coffee, which is a widely exported product, is one of the most popular drinks we have all around the world. This type of drink contains caffeine, which is considered by The New Scientist magazine as a ‘psychoactive drug’, that is to say, it influences how we feel and sometimes how we behave.
ResponderEliminarTo begin with, how much money does the coffee farmer actually see? Today, more and more consumers chose ethical coffee, which means a better lifestyle for farmers. As long as farmers are paid ethically, consumers will be able to take the most of it, as they will be sold a higher quality product. Nevertheless, it is claimed that consumers don't usually ask for their products' origin.
Secondly, what is the so-called suspended coffee? It is a new trend that consists on buying a coffee for somebody else who is in need of it, who can't afford for it. Apart from that, there is a wide range of coffee, for instance, latte, cappuccino, espresso and so on. However, the most expensive coffee is the one from beans passed through the civet, which cost about $550 per kilogram of coffee.
Taking all into account to, in the last years, ethical coffee's demand has grown significantly. People prefer paying a little more for ethical products, owing to the fact that they're concerned about lifestyle's farmers. Besides that, Finland is the country which drinks the most coffee per person, exactly 12 kilograms of coffee per person every year. Personally, I'd also pay more for ethical products, I wouldn't pay such a high price for civet coffee, though.
