In Finland there were rhymes about coffee as "about beautiful and gold" Drink.

His life they are not without this drink. In the history of nations there is always something amazing. Where, for example, the Finns such an attitude, it would seem, to the southern coffee?

In everyday life, the Finns do not have the exotic in the production of coffee, such as the Italians, which show almost no art to prepare a cup of coffee. Finns are not added to the very strong coffee with whipped cream and decorated with coffee orange peel, incinerate in a tablespoon of brandy, carefully lowering his coffee. There is nothing, although it is considered bad manners to offer just coffee. Finns often drink this just coffee, and nothing – alive and well!
