For the first time, coffee came to Russia in 1665 and it began to be prescribed as a remedy for the decline of energy. Thanks to Peter I, the people tasted the invigorating drink, but it was not available to everyone. Nowadays, almost everyone drinks and loves it. And all because coffee is aromatic, tasty and, as has been proven by scientists, makes us happier.
It is most correct to purchase coffee beans, so the aroma does not disappear, and it is better to grind it before the preparation itself. The choice of the variety is yours. The most common is Arabica. It has a rich yet mellow flavor and a slightly chocolatey aroma. Blue Mountain has a classic taste and a rum aroma. Porridge - mild taste and nutty flavor. Pico has a rich taste and a fir aroma. Arabien Mocha is distinguished by its wine flavor. Kenyan coffee can change flavors from tobacco to citrus. In general, there are a lot of varieties, like cooking recipes, and it all depends on your taste preferences.
