Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Round Up...



I know some of you have been waiting for my round up of the
 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2019!

I was delighted to win a prize from Polka Dot Orchard  and Jessica was very generous!
Watch out for my makes with my new digis!
I was hoping to add one here but time has not been on my side!!

But there are prizes to be won from my little Quiz!!

First the answers:

My first trivia question was
In which country was coffee discovered?
Ethiopia (although there is some debate as to whether it was Yemen).

My Day 2 trivia question was
Can you tell me when and where was the first coffee house established?
I think the earliest I found was Turkey in 1475.

My third trivia question was
When and where was the first Starbucks opened?
The first Starbucks was opened in Seattle, Washington in 1971

My Day 4 trivia question was
What were the waitresses called in Lyons Corner House and why?
The name ‘Nippy’ was eventually chosen, probably for the connotation that the waitresses nipped speedily around.
My Day 5 trivia question was
When was Betty's Tea Room established in Harrogate, England?
The Betty's story started in Harrogate 100 years ago, 1919.
My Day 6 trivia question was
There are four major tea types – black, green, white and oolong – but they all come from one plant. What is the name of that plant? 
Camellia Sinensis
My Day 7 trivia question was
What is the name given to the art of reading tea leaves?
 Tasseography, sometimes called tasseomancy.

My Day 8 trivia question was
Who were the first people to drink a 'cocoa' drink?
The Olmecs (1500-400 BC) were almost certainly the first humans to consume chocolate, originally in the form of a drink. They crushed the cocoa beans, mixed them with water and added spices, chillies and herbs
