I was doing some research and found quite an interesting study about coffee, “the buzz of coffee.”
You know, it is believed that it was a goat herder in Ethiopia who discovered coffee about 1,200 years ago, when his goat got an energy boost after eating some red berries.
It says that each flower on a coffee tree produces a small red fruit known as a coffee cherry or coffee berry with two green coffee beans inside. Isn’t that interesting? Yet coffee trees can grow as tall as a three-story building and it takes approximately 2,000 coffee cherries which is 4,000 beans to produce one pound of roasted coffee. Researchers estimate that there are more than 100 known species of coffee plants. It even takes up to four years for a coffee seed to grow in a tree that produces coffee beans. Incredible. Even more so, Americans spend over 40 billion dollars on coffee each year according to one study and it takes approximately 37 gallons of water to make just one cup of coffee if you factor in what it takes to grow and process the beans. Quite interesting and absolutely mind-boggling statistics.
Today, more than 2 billion cups of coffee are consumed around the world every single day, enough to fill more than 300 Olympic-sized swimming pools and interestingly enough, since caffeine is toxic to most insects, it serves as a natural bug repellent which protects the coffee trees. Nature is so powerful.
The world was created with such an unbelievable amount of protection that it help our purpose for human beings to do what we need. In these statistics, the coffee buzz, one can see how in just one item in one scientific finding, how the world is so magnificent in its proliferation and tremendous unadulterated abilities.
All these beautiful things have been created for us by the one Creator to use properly. Now, unfortunately, many people are addicted to coffee and this addiction at times has proven to be detrimental. Anything for that matter which is addictive can be detrimental. All statistics show, however, that there is so much to know from one little plant, one little seed, one little bean, and what we can accomplish with the world today if we knew all the reasons behind these things.
So appreciate the world, appreciate what we have, and enjoy your cup of coffee, if you drink coffee.
