THE ADVANTAGE OF ROASTER DIRECT COFFEE Roaster direct ensures the highest quality coffee throughout the entire production process...   Botanists believe coffee originated in Ethiopia and that it began as food rather than beverage (crushed berries mixed with animal fat). First coffee beverage fermented like wine. Arabs first boiled raw seeds with water to make hot drink and Arab traders are believed to have brought coffee from Ethiopia across Gulf of Aden into Yemen through port of Mocha. In fact, so much coffee shipped through Mocha, name now synonymous with coffee. Coffee was used as a replacement for wine, which was forbidden by Islamic law. It was first offered in religious ceremonies, before widespread popular use. The Arabs developed a system of cultivation in nurseries. Coffee trade so valuable to Arabs that removal of plants punishable by death. And, religious pilgrims to Mecca may have smuggled coffee to Egypt, Syria, and Turkey. Advancements in preparation led to roasting of coffee seeds (beans) and boiling to create a yellowish drink. For more than 12 years, Café Classics has been trading with the legendary coffee estates and plantations of the world to bring you the finest, most delicious coffees possible. The beauty of coffee is in its diversity. An Arabica bean grown in Colombia will have slightly different flavor attributes than the same bean grown in Costa Rica. Each different; each distinct; each delicious in its own way. A PROMISE The coffee you buy from us is always the authentic coffee as labeled.
