National Coffee Day & National Biscotti Day
Processing Request
September 29th is both National Coffee Day AND National Biscotti Day! What a perfect pairing.
According to the National Coffee Association, no one knows exactly how or when coffee was discovered, but there is a legend of an Ethiopian goat herder, Kaldi, noticing his goats being so energetic they wouldn't sleep at night if they ate the beans.
Coffee was being grown by the 15th century and the Boston Tea Party in 1773 is believed to be the turning point that changed America's favorite drink from tea to coffee. Biscotti originated in Italy in the 14th century. Literally meaning "twice baked cookie", it is, of course, delicious. Now that it is officially autumn, we can celebrate the cooler temperatures with a hot beverage and delicious cookie!
