As a young teenager I discovered a hidden talent to read the future through the ancient practice of reading the grounds of Turkish coffee. The stories flowed out of me, and I was able to predict in great detail what would occur over the next several months. Word spread of my talent, and soon I was in high demand. Through the years I have kept up with this tradition of my ancestors and have continued to leave people amazed with the gift. I want now to share with you the mystery of reading the …

Most coffee connoisseurs prefer mild roasts because the longer a coffee bean is roasted the more characteristics that are burned off. Tasting coffee is an art form. To detect the most amount of flavor from the coffee bean, it must be tasted properly. Coffee tasting works much like wine tasting. As in wine tasting, coffee tasting has special terms, used to describe the taste of co …
