Black gold: What should you know about coffee?

Coffee is said to have its roots in Ethiopia, where it has been enjoyed for more than a thousand years. From the African continent, sailors spread the coffee plant to the Arab world, Asia and the Caribbean. From here, coffee was imported to Europe and spread mainly through coffee houses. Today, every country has its own coffee culture with typical specialty coffees: the Italian espresso and cappuccino, the Spanish café cortado and café con leche, the Viennese melange (like from famous Austrian coffee trader Meinl), and the French petit café or café au lait. Heinemann has selected coffees for authentically preparing these and many other coffee specialties – which is your favorite?

An indulgence that takes time: exquisite teas in the Heinemann Shop

Tea connoisseurs know that how you prepare your tea is just as important as how you enjoy it. Tea is incredibly diverse, and each variety has its own typical characteristics:

• Black tea is consumed in the UK, in Scandinavia and in Northern Germany, as well as in Turkish and Arabian regions. Its dark color is caused by the tea leaves being allowed to oxidize completely after fermentation before they are heat-dried.
• Green tea is widespread throughout Asia, but is also becoming increasingly popular in Europe due to its fine aroma and health-promoting substances. The tea leaves are wilted, rolled and dried, without oxidation.
• Herbal or fruit teas are actually tea, as they are not obtained from the tea plant, but from leaves, flowers and/or fruits of different plants. These herbal infusions are particularly popular in Germany.
