Somehow they still varied from cultural area to cultural area, reflecting the values of the societies in which they arose. The illustration from ‘Traite Nouveau et Curieux du Café du The et du Chocolat’ By Sylvestre Dufour shows some type of meeting inside the coffee house. This photo expresses the importance of the coffeehouses, and it also exhibits how they were being put to use. (‘Traite Nouveau et Curieux du Café du The et du Chocolat’, Defour.. 1693). Coffeehouses today are used for the same reasoning, and have not changed throughout time. In this particular painting, the artist depicts the amount of coffee consumption. The men already have a great amount of coffee pots on the table, in their hands, and there are also coffee pots on the floor. This tells that the people of Europe take great interest in Coffee and Coffeehouses. But how did this addiction come to be such a great deal in Europe, when the Coca bean originated from the New World? Coffee consumption caught on to the wealthy and spread from there. From the Ottoman empire, the culture of coffee drinking spread to Western Europe. This entanglement may seem like a luxury , but it was very controversial. A few people had some religious opposes , but others referred to the coffeehouses as schools of knowledge. The first Coffeehouse opened in London in 1652, which…

Coffee had a tremendous impact on long distance and European expansion.

When mountaineer Greg Mortenson first encountered the people of rural Pakistan, he was easily able to recognize the problems they faced every day. The people were isolated, embattled, impoverished, malnourished and exploited. But what shocked Greg the most was that most people did not have the opportunity to receive an education. The memoir Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Relin describe Mortenson’s struggle to bring education and empowerment to the people of Pakistan and Afghanistan. While it was easy for Greg to identify the problems of life in the Middle East, the leaders and public Western Hemisphere ignores them. For years, the relationships between Western society and the Middle East have been characterized by suspicion and stereotypes. The Middle East has often been depicted as a primitive land of warfare and violence. The graphic images of the newsreels often replace reality and thus ruin the public perception of the people in the Middle East. In the book Three Cups of Tea, author Greg Mortenson challenges the ideas, attitudes, and images associated with the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan. In order to gain support for his cause, Mortenson uses pathos and imagery as rhetorical devices to humanize the misrepresented people of the Middle East.…

Tea was first considered a novelty when it arrived in Europe (185). Although it arrived before coffee, its popularity was slower growing thanks to the unstable supply and resulting high prices (186). Just as in China, tea started out as a medicinal drink in Britain. Dutch doctor Cornelius Bontekoe voiced: “We recommend tea to the entire nation, and to all peoples! We urge every man, every woman, to drink it every day, if possible, every hour” (186-187).…

Coffee in world history has changed many things from its first appearance in 1635 up until today. Its effects were seen in the people, on the economy, and on the social aspect of life.
