“I never laugh until I’ve had my coffee.”
Clark Gable

What do most people do in common? Every morning we share the same attitude, same routines and same practices to start our journey. Things like having breakfast, listening to the news and reading our favorite newspaper. However, the thing that most of us have in common is to drink a cup of coffee everyday.

Coffee, whose bitter black beans are able to create a potion of black liquid that can immediately change you from a zombie to a human being! Once you take the first sip, you lose resistance and drink until the very last drop disappears.

Over the years, the word coffee has been mentioned in many different contexts, in songs, novels and poetry, to emphasize people’s addiction to drinking this black liquid as a way of finding their peace of mind.

When you smell the fragrance of coffee beans, you instantly understand that this smell is a perfume that awakens your mind, body and soul. People have created a coffee culture because it gives them happiness and joy to start their day with  positive fuel. Nowadays, we cannot gather together or work, write or even study without indulging our taste and mind with a hot cup of coffee. These remarkable black beans from the earth’s soil have captured our consciousness with their unique smell and uncommon taste.

I have my black stars in the morning.
I have my black ocean in my hand.
I start my day wearing black perfume.
I determine that black sea is my soul.
I understand that black waves is morning,
And I realize that coffee is my home.
