咖啡音的水果茶譜

掛滿了媽媽的畫-咖啡音 CAFE ANDANTE

新開了一個茶論壇，TeaLounge 茶沙發，還沒什麼客人，只能靠我這個腦袋呈現遲滯狀況的孕婦苦撐...發文都自己發...唉，好心的朋友來幫忙灌灌水吧...中英皆可呦！

回到正題，為了茶沙發，我想找一些茶譜來寫寫，第一個想到的就是小時候超愛喝的水果茶。每次和媽媽去咖啡館，媽媽就會點一壺小小的水果茶，配上小小的杯子，我都會覺得自己簡直是未成年的小貴婦...
開了咖啡音之後，水果茶也是我們的招牌之一，除了是新鮮水果煮製之外，更充滿了濃濃的鄉愁，喝一壺水果茶，就會想到天母的欒樹。我的好朋友chantee每次從downtown飛車趕來，為的也就是媽媽的家鄉菜和一壺濃郁的水果茶。
剛才在網上亂逛，看到了Yilan的水果茶配方，提起十多年前的咖啡館，倒真讓人懷舊起來。咖啡館的溫度總是比室外高上好幾度，老板認真煮咖啡的神情是咖啡店裡最美的畫面。曾幾何時Starbucks取代了溫暖的小咖啡店，工讀生照著SOP按下全自動義式咖啡機，打出漂亮的泡沫，走進咖啡店，每一次都要再重複一次自己要點的東西，因為工讀生不會認得你，也不會在來往的客人中記著你的口味。
想起了我們的咖啡音CAFE ANDANTE。前兩天和姐姐去吃東方美食，還看到榴槤弟在打工，每次都要喝榴槤奶茶的孩子。那時來店裡的每個孩子都像是我們的弟弟妹妹，每個人愛喝什麼愛吃什麼我們都瞭若指掌。現在想想我也不知道自己哪來的勇氣就這樣離開回台北。

if you love coffee, make it fair trade!

For a 3 dollar cup of coffee, the farmer earns 3 cents.

This is the first title shown on "Black Gold" film trailer. But I believe the situation is worse than the words.I love coffee, and I just can't sit and watch the coffee kids dying of hunger, not mention they don't even have schooling.

I've put 3 episodes from "Black Gold" movie on my Picasa. Please click on the links bellow to see the episodes.

Coffee Kids
Sidama, the coffee region grows starbucks' coffee. In 2006, kids here were hit by serious famine.
Starbucks claimed their cost of coffee bean has increased from $1.28/pl to $1.42/pl since 2005. If you use 7g of coffee beans for a cup of espresso, and you can make up to 80 cups of espresso with 1 pound coffee beans which cost only $1.42 per pound. The math is very easy here.


Coffee Mothers
We all know that best espresso beans are roasted by Italian.. but we may not know that best coffee beans are hand picked by these African women, and they are earning less than $0.5 per day.

Coffee Fathers
These coffee farmers were gathering to discuss how to use the profit they gain from fair trading. They decided to build a school, even the earning is not enough to build one.

If you believe in coffee, and believe in a fair world, please log on to the official website of the movie "Black Gold" and pledge to see "Black Gold" movie in your city.
