All about Coffee

Coffee – one of the few drinks that is universal and the world’s second most popular drink after water, a guilty pleasure no matter when, where or how consumed, has the ability to mesmerize the mind and tantalize the taste buds. Coffee is without a doubt a social lubricant and indeed the ‘elixir’ of life…

The formation of culture around coffee and coffeehouses dates back to 16th century Turkey, where coffeehouses were traditionally social hubs, as well as artistic and intellectual centers. Even those who were not coffee lovers would spend time in coffee houses just to enjoy the atmosphere. Over the years a revival of this culture has been seen in our country. Today, coffee drinking in India has matured from the cappuccinos and lattes to consumers enquiring about and appreciating the darker espressos.
