According to legend,
Coffee have been popular everywhere. In Africa coffee had evolved in extravagant proportions. It usually ranks second to petroleum in dollar value. Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, and Ivory Coast rely on coffee as a major source of income but uncounted millions down it by the potful. Brazil grows a third of the world’s supply coffee bean and brings more leaving home than staying there. The chilling thought of a killing frost, damaged nearly half of the country’s three billion coffee trees and sent retail prices into orbit. Frost had hit southern Brazil in 1979. Brazil, suspended all shipments and uneasy importers, fearing a shortage, went on a buying spree. Prices rose. Producers and consumers agree to limit output to what the market can absorb, a standby reserve and at reasonable price. Despite yo-yo conditions and increase in living costs in the United States, coffee remains one of the least inflated prepared beverages.
