The history of coffee in my family (ING/ESP)
Edited at http://www.canva.com
Hello everyone hive friends, the whole house smells of freshly brewed coffee, an aroma that calls all the women in my house to gather in the kitchen quickly before it gets cold. This is my first time writing in this community and I want to tell you a little bit about the history of coffee in our family.
The coffee hour in my house is a sacred moment, almost like a ritual and more for the matriarch of the family my beautiful grandmother, the older people when they reach a certain age have the characteristic to tell stories many times, and every time they tell them it is as if you hear them for the first time, you laugh you are surprised, you find out things you already knew hahaha and that is the coffee hour for us, a time to talk and tell stories and anecdotes of the day to day.
Hola a todos amigos de hive, la casa entera huele a café recién colado, aroma que nos llama a todas las mujeres de mi casa a reunirnos en la cocina rápidamente antes de que se enfríe. Es mi primera vez escribiendo en esta comunidad y quiero contarles un poco lo que es la historia del café dentro de nuestra familia.
La hora del café en mi casa es un momento sagrado, casi como un ritual y más para la matriarca de la familia mi linda abuela, las personas mayores cuando llegan a cierta edad tienen como característica contar muchas veces las historias, y cada vez que las cuentan es como si las escucharás por primera vez, te ríes te sorprendes, te enteras de cosas que ya sabías jajaja y esa es la hora del café para nosotras, un momento para conversar y contar historias y anécdotas del día a día.
This time is repeated several times a day actually, the morning is the most important, and the afternoon is when we sit down to talk. My grandmother stares at her coffee cup and begins to "tell the story" that since she was a little girl she has always drunk coffee, in her childhood she lived in the countryside in a cold area and her father was an excellent farmer, he himself grew almost all the food they consumed, so he knew a lot about agriculture and how to preserve the grains that had to be kept. One of his crops was coffee, so my grandmother tells us that since she was a child she and her sisters used to eat the beans that the plant produced and savor the fruit of the coffee which was "a red seed" as she says.
With a story like that we practically have coffee running through our veins instead of blood, just like her, my mom and I are also coffee lovers, a day without drinking coffee is as if it made no sense hahaha I know you can understand that feeling of not drinking coffee one morning.
We drink coffee very black in the morning and a little softer during the day, about four times a day which is quite a lot I know, my grandma sometimes comes to the kitchen quietly and has one or two more cups.
Esta hora se repite varias al día en realidad, la de la mañana que es la más importante, y la de la tarde que es cuando nos sentamos a conversar. Mi abuela se queda mirando su taza café y comienza a “echar el cuento” que desde pequeña siempre a tomado café, en su niñez vivía en el campo en una zona fría y su padre era un agricultor excelente, él mismo cultivaba casi toda la comida que consumían, así que sabía mucho de agricultura y como conservar los granos que debían guardar. Uno de sus cultivos era el café, así que mi abuela cuenta que desde niña junto con sus hermanas se comían los granitos que daba la planta y saboreaban el fruto del café que era “una pepita roja” como dice ella.
Con una historia así prácticamente nos corre por las venas café en vez de sangre, al igual que ella, mi mamá y yo también somos amantes del café, un día sin tomar café es como si no tuviera sentido jajaja se que ustedes pueden comprender ese sentimiento de no tomar café una mañana.
Tomamos el café muy negro por la mañana y un poco más suave durante el dia, unas cuatro veces al día que es bastante lo sé, mi abuela a veces se viene a la cocina en silencio y toma una o dos tazitas mas.
She always says that she never gets sick of anything (which is not so true) and that she has never had a headache in her life and that coffee keeps her healthy from everything hahaha she is an excellent coffee taster and if the coffee is over roasted or of low quality she can tell just by smelling it.
Like her, my mother also drank coffee since she was a child and by inheritance I also had my little giraffe cup to drink coffee with milk since I was about seven years old. It is a tradition that cannot be broken in this family and whenever we get together as soon as they walk in the door they ask, "Have you made the coffee yet?
Ella siempre dice que ella nunca se enferma de nada (cosa que no es tan cierta) y que nunca en su vida le ha dolido la cabeza y que el café la mantiene sana de todo jajaja ella es una catadora de café excelente y si el café está tostado de más o es de baja calidad lo sabe con nada más olerlo.
Al igual que ella mi mamá también tomaba café desde niña y por herencia yo también desde que tengo como unos siete años ya tenía mi tacita de jirafa para tomar café con leche. Es una tradición que no se puede romper dentro de esta familia y siempre que nos reunimos apenas van entrando por la puerta preguntan ¿Ya montaste el café?
I hope you liked my story of what coffee is like in my family and I think I suspect that almost every family in this community has a similar story.
Espero que les haya gustado mi historia de lo que es el café dentro de mi familia y creo sospechar que casi todas las familias de las personas de esta comunidad tienen una historia parecida.
