Spilling The Beans – Tuesday 10th September
Spilling the Beans: A history of Coffee
Our love affair with the coffee bean goes back several centuries, before becoming a popular drink on the high street and at home. In the 17th century it was believed that coffee had medicinal properties; in the 1600’s Pope Clement gave his permission for Catholics to drink it and the first Coffee House opened in England.
Next month we welcome back popular speaker Sandy Leong to get our taste buds tingling! At previous meetings she has told us about tea and beer – now it is the turn of coffee.
