The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Steamed milk is plenty thick, and also adds sweetness! Then add more sugar if you feel you need it. Much better for your body!

I feel like when you get into creamer territory, people aren't drinking coffee because they like it, but because they just want a sugar and carb hit and coffee is a socially acceptable way to do so.

EDIT: finally watched, and not surprised the most mentioned words are 'artificial' and 'synthetic' haha.
