“Історична батьківщина рослини, яка по-ботанічному називається Coffea arabica, — Ефіопія. Просто в XVI–XVII століттях кавою монопольно торгували арабські купці з єменського узбережжя Червоного моря, а в ту добу флорі давали латинські назви.”
Augustine Sedgewick, Coffeeland: One Man's Dark Empire and the Making of Our Favorite Drug

“I got into magic because I got into alchemy. Which I got into because I was into chemistry, which I was learning about because I wanted to get better with botany, which I had taken up studying in an effort to grow some killer weed”
