Brief history of the "black drink"
The "black drink" more beloved
in the world is gotten by a plant of the family of the Rubiacees and
the kind Coffea that understands numerous kinds.
Only the kinds Arabica and Robusta have economic value and they are
cultivated in the principal coffee manufacturing Countries. COFFEA ARABICA:
qualitatively it is among the best coffees and it represents around
the 70% of the world production. The grains are small, of lengthened
form and flattened, of a beautiful green/blue color. Contrarily of the
Canephora Robusta, more resistant to the illnesses, the Arabic one is
a fragile plant that grows only in altitude. These characteristics are
at the base of its qualitative superiority: greater it is the altitude,
they mature anymore more slowly the fruits and so much the drink it
is rich of aromatic mixtures and of way of caffeine less elevated than
that of the Robusta one (1,1-1,7%). COFFEA CANEPHORA or ROBUSTA: the
Robusta one is a variety of the Coffea canephora but the definition
"Robusta" has entered in the common use to point out the varieties
of different coffee from the Arabic one. The grains are round from the
irregular central cut: the color is green/yellow, quantitatively allow
greater outputs and inferior quality slightly to the Arabic one, in
comparison to which it has a more rapid growth and a more elevated content
of caffeine (2 - 4,5%). The Robusta quality represents around a quarter
of the world production and the production is assembled especially in
the African continent.
From the mature fruits (in slang "cherries") green coffee
prepares him with a series of procedures aimed to separate the grains
from the fruit that it winds them and to dry them to allow the maintenance
and the following roaster. Two methods exist for the preparation of
the raw coffee: for by shoal, for by damp. The coffee gotten for by
shoal natural coffee is denominated, while that gotten for by damp washed
coffee is denominated. The stimulating effects of the caffeine-the principal
present alkaloid in the coffee-they have been being known for a long
time and it has been verified that the substance is not dangerous for
the health, unless is not assumed to very elevated doses. On the contrary,
the medical science has not put never in discussion the therapeutic
value of the caffeine, to which recent studies have recognized various
healthy benefits (for more information: scientific
news ).
The Robusta quality contains a greater percentage of caffeine in comparison
to the Arabic one (2-4,5% against 1,1-1,7%). In the Fitness Caffè®
we use a mixture with the maximum percentage of Arabic and a small percentage
of Strong (necessary to give more tone and body to the final beverage):
the content of caffeine therefore is ideal to exalt the salutary properties
and the superior taste of the drink that is really unique and innovative.
The best method to brew the Fitness Coffee is the italian style Espresso,
it is this in fact the method of extraction that produces coffee with
the lowest percentage of caffeine, because the little quantity of water
used for the preparation quickly passes through the mixture, freeing
a low quantity of the substance but also the whole harmonic and splendid
"bouquet" of the sixteen medicinal herbs and spices (for other methods see: preparation of Fitness Coffee

- The Arabs used so much coffee that the Christian church denounced coffee as "the hellish black brew." But Pope Clement VIII found it so great tasting that he baptized it and made it a Christian beverage saying "coffee is so delicious it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it.
