He reported his observation to the abbot at a local monastery who made a drink with the berries and discovered that it kept him alert for long hours during evening prayers.
News of the berries spread east and coffee moved into the Arabian peninsula. The Arabs were the first, not only to cultivate coffee but also to begin its trade. By the fifteenth century, coffee was being grown in the Yemeni district of Arabia and by the sixteenth century it was known in Persia, Egypt, Syria and Turkey. Europeans who traveled to the Near East found this new beverage and brought it back home to share with family and friends.
By the 17th century coffee had made its way across Europe. But upon trying the beverage, he liked it so much he gave it Papal approval.
By the midth century, there were over coffee houses in London. Pouring the beverage into a Pot related the serving to the elegant appearance and practice of tea time. To maintain the flavor of the coffee, a different pot had to be designed. Pots are more slender to help the heat stay in the beverage.
Spreading it out as in a teapot disperses the heat and the coffee cools off to quickly. Additionally placing the spout at the bottom of the pot also helps the heat to remain in the pot. Each Coffee, Tea and Chocolate Pot has been designed to enhance the flavor and consumption of its beverage.
But the reasons sure do make a lot of sense now. Thank you for this great article! Now, I am wondering what I truly have? It is small and not round, but spout is higher up? Any thoughts? The key is in the spout. Making it a tea pot. Lower and it would be a coffee pot. Higher and it would be a chocolate pot.
Hello, thank you for this informative article. I am hoping you can advise me. A very dear friend, who was a fabulous potter, recently died. Her family has offered me a beautiful coffee service pot, creamer and sugar that she made. I already have a sterling coffee service, but would truly love a ceramic tea service.
The color and the design of this set would look perfect in my kitchen. Could I brew and serve tea in this tall, slender coffee pot? Happy Pink Saturday, dear Bernideen. Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you so much for this so informative pink post! Wish I lived near you to take one of your classes! I just found your blog and put it as a favorite on my site. Thank you for the lesson! Hi Bernideen - thank you for the tutorial! I thought the one on the right might have been a chocolate pot as well, but your explanation about the spouts makes sense.
I've always wanted to own a vintage chocolate set - now I'll be able to find the "real deal" and not a coffee pot instead! Is there anything that makes the chocolate cups unique? Aren't they sort of taller than tea cups? I'd love for you to continue your teaching to explain about more particulars of each kind of "set" - tea, chocolate, and coffee. Your knowledge is invaluable! Hugs, Sharon. Semantic enigmas. The body beautiful. Red tape, white lies. Speculative science.
