My First Cup of Coffee

I always tell my friends, that coffee is my best friend. :)

I was exposed from friends and relatives who loves to drink coffee. My dad is a great coffee drinker and my mom can't go without it. I was only seven years old at that time and was not allowed to drink. They say that coffee has caffeine and caffeine is not good for my health.

I started to crave at the age of seven and planned and started to make my own experiment. But still my curiosity didn't stop me from my eagerness to taste my own cup.

One afternoon, after arriving from school. I sneaked my way to the kitchen to make my first cup. I didn't know the exact measurement for a perfect brew, but have mastered how my dad and mom prepared their coffee in the morning.

My nose was the first one exposed, and smelled the rich aroma of my coffee flavor. I got so excited as it was my first time and the aroma followed me while my coffee brew. I easily acquired the taste and enjoyed cupping my cup. It was between a light to medium roast. It taste the original coffee flavor.The after taste lingered on my palate after I have swallowed. I am fully enjoying the taste.The flavor of this chocolaty and nutty drink started my journey and experience in coffee. I have started to indulge more on different kinds of flavors and plan to know and experiment more on coffee.

Coffee has been my favorite companion. In every cup I drink, I am aware and inspired by the stories on how coffee help and assist coffee growers in their daily lives and help raise awareness about the coffee we drink. It's a mutual benefit that we share with our farmers. That's why I always feel good about drinking a great cup of coffee. c[_]
