Naturata Organic Grain Coffee
Fresh coffee awakens the spirits of many nations. Finns, Dutch and Swedes hold the top positions in the world's highest coffee consumption. With some distance Norwegians, Danes and Austrians follow. The biggest coffee lovers in the world have one interesting thing in common: In none of those countries coffee is grown. Scandinavia but also Central Europe are just way too cold for the extremely demanding coffee beans. Coffee bushes thrive only in the so-called ”coffee belt“. It lies around the equator between the 23rd latitude north and the 25th southern latitude. Within the coffee belt there is a warm, humid-dry climate throughout the year. There is always enough rain, but no big temperature fluctuations. This is particularly important for the coffee plant, as it is sensitive to temperature changes. The optimum average temperature is between 18°C and 25°C. Even fluctuations of 5°C leave a clear mark on the yield, the quality and the taste of the coffee beans.
As early as in the 16th century, the first coffee houses opened in the Ottoman Empire. In 1615 Venetian merchants brought their first shipload of coffee to Europe. However, it would take more than 100 years for it to have a breakthrough as the most popular hot drink among nobles and wealthy citizens. Since coffee could not be grown in Europe, the Dutch started to build coffee plantations on the island of Java in 1699. Also other European great powers used their colonies for growing coffee and thus laid the foundation in many regions for one of the most important economic factors. The volcanic soils in southwestern Ethiopia are considered to be the home country of coffee, but the largest coffee producers in the world are now Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia and Indonesia.
Since coffee was so expensive until the 20th century, one was looking for cheaper alternatives early on. The best known is probably malt coffee, which is made from malted barley. Even older than the malt coffee, however, is the chicory coffee. It is made from the roots of the common chicory and was already used in 1680. Initially, it was only used to lengthen the expensive bean coffee. Later it was also used as a replacement for it. The French called the mixture of bean and chicory coffee at the time of Napoleon Café Prussien - Prussian coffee. The third representative of the coffee-like drinks is grain coffee. Today, usually a bean substitute is meant, for example with non-germinated barley and rye. The use of other cereals such as corn and spelt is also possible, but less common.
