  • Extended vocabulary from this video: Run a plantation The prices have gone up. Skinny latte A flat white (coffee) Make coffee drinking trendy Hugely complicated businesses Impact of coffee markets on local growers Make waves = have a big effect Makes waves around the globe It’s the key to whether the individual farmers can provide for their families, face employment. Track to the cities. Each year I’ll go for = I’ll chose Farm organically It’s labor-intensive Market fluctuations We grow, we process Be profitable at the end of a day. Well, that's it for today

  • Coffee drinking is trendy and involved in everyone's lifestyle. The coffee market is making waves in the market. The approach to making coffee involves going through every process to stay profitable. Numerous coffees are drunk by people. You cannot even speculate on how many cups of coffee I have already drunk. The figures went through a fluctuation. People are vulnerable to addictions. This business provides more outcomes than you can speculate on. How do I package this parcel? I am looking only for profitable strategies.

  • I used to drink coffee when I was younger. Now I quit this habit. In my eye, coffee is a great disappointment, I mean, when you feel the smell of coffee it seems as something tasty, but after you take a sip, it tastes awful. I’m saying about black coffee without tons of sugar and other ingredients:)😂 I prefer matcha tea. It has an invigorating effect too and it’s healthier than coffee. Thanks for the interesting topic!
