cultivating coffee drinkers

I'm beginning to feel that universities are really a school of coffee drinking cultivation. Not only am I drinking more coffee, I'm throwing in more caffine into my system to keep me going and saint. Not that it is all a bad thing, at least, there are lots of scholarly papers that supports the theory of having a cuppa a day is totally acceptable, and in fact makes you a more efficient worker!

I like coffee. With less milk. Bitter sweet. The aroma alone can awaken one's spirit. The world changed a fair bit because of these humble beans. It had allowed Man to discuss about politics soberly, and encouraged trades, including human trades and war.

It creates an environment for interaction and conversation.. In a way, you can say that it is a 'Scholarly breverage' in the Western world. But, few would remember where the beans originated from or how and who grew them. Some coffee farmers might not even be able to buy any more beans to grow these days, if not for schemes such as Fair Trade that is helping to give back what the farmers deserves... Think about it. It is no longer just a simple breverage, but a social and political issue behind each cup of coffee...
