The most popular drink or infusion that I never miss

Both coffee and the plant that produces it, are native to Africa. It is easy then to get confused or enter a dilemma, with the true origin of coffee, since ancient legends about the cultivation and the custom of drinking coffee come from the Arabs, since they are the first to extract the beans, roast them, grind them and Mix them with hot water. The coffee grew from the hand of an indispensable companion: the coffee shops. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these businesses were not only places of leisure where to have a comforting cup of coffee, but they were also a meeting point for intellectuals and politicians.

The history of tea in India points out how Marco Polo, the famous Venetian adventurer, brought tea from China to the court of the Indian emperor Harsha Vardhana. Tea is an aromatic beverage that is commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over fresh or cured leaves of Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to East Asia. After water, it is the most consumed drink in the world. There are many different types of tea; some, like Darjeeling and Chinese greens, have a refreshing, slightly bitter and astringent taste, while others have very different profiles including sweet, nutty, floral, or herbaceous notes.
