Happy world coffee Day

Coffee is one of the world's most popular drinks, but it didn’t get there through its health virtues. I love started drinking my cup of Joe to feel more alert and awake. My friends and hubby says I'm addicted :).
I tried so many different variety but nothing better than roasted Arabic coffee.There are some hidden health benefits of the liquid lighting.

Coffee has a long history beginning in Ethiopia, Africa. History of coffee in India dates back to the 17th century, when Baba Budan, went to Arabia for his 'Hajj' pilgrimage to Mecca. On the way back, he came via Yemen. There he encountered a strange drink which he wanted to take home. Trade in coffee was tightly controlled by the Arabs. They wouldn't let anyone take fresh seeds out to plant in their own country; they could only take the roasted beans. But, Baba Budan managed to get hold of seven seeds, which he hid in his dress and raised them successfully in the hills, which are now named after him. A century later, British manager J.H. Jolly realised the commercial potential of the coffee plants which were growing without much attention in the hills and started exporting the seeds to different parts of the world.
