The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Man, making all that effort to drink their burnt (not even over-roasted) coffee. I dare say I've had better instant coffee than theirs.

We have about $50 in Starbucks gift cards that people have given us. We never use them. The only way to make Starbucks coffee taste decent is to add three soda's worth of sugar and a half pint of heavy cream.
