[[Coffee]] is a [[Drip brew|brewed]] drink prepared from the roasted seeds of several species of an [[evergreen]] [[shrub]] of the [[genus]] ''[[Coffea]]''. The two most common sources of coffee beans are the highly regarded ''[[Coffea arabica]]'', and the "robusta" form of the hardier ''[[Coffea canephora]]''. Coffee plants are cultivated in [[List of countries by coffee production|more than 70 countries]]. Once ripe, coffee [[epigynous berries|"berries"]] are picked, processed, and dried to yield the seeds inside. The seeds are then roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor, before being ground and brewed to create coffee.

Coffee is slightly [[acidic]] (pH 5.0–5.1<ref>[http://www.thecoffeefaq.com/7health.html#coffeeacidic Coffee and Health]. Thecoffeefaq.com (2005-02-16). Retrieved on 2013-01-22.</ref>) and can have a stimulating effect on humans because of its [[caffeine]] content. It is one of the most popular drinks in the world.<ref name="Villanueva">{{cite journal |doi=10.1002/ijc.21587 |title=Total and specific fluid consumption as determinants of bladder cancer risk |year=2006 |last1=Villanueva |first1=Cristina M. |last2=Cantor |first2=Kenneth P. |last3=King |first3=Will D. |last4=Jaakkola |first4=Jouni J.K. |last5=Cordier |first5=Sylvaine |last6=Lynch |first6=Charles F. |last7=Porru |first7=Stefano |last8=Kogevinas |first8=Manolis |journal=International Journal of Cancer |volume=118 |issue=8 |pages=2040–7 |pmid=16284957|s2cid=27175168 |doi-access=free }}</ref> {{Failed verification|date=October 2022}} It can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways.

Coffee cultivation first took place in southern [[Arabia]];<ref name="Wein34" /> the earliest credible evidence of coffee-drinking appears in the middle of the 15th century in the [[Sufism|Sufi]] shrines of [[Yemen]].<ref name="Wein34">{{cite book |last1=Weinberg |first1=Bennett Alan |last2=Bealer |first2=Bonnie K. |title=The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug |year=2001 |isbn=978-0-415-92722-2 |publisher=Routledge |location=New York |url=https://archive.org/details/worldofcaffeines00benn |url-access=registration |access-date=November 18, 2015|pages=[https://archive.org/details/worldofcaffeines00benn/page/n380 3]–4}}</ref>

=====Hot chocolate=====
[[Hot chocolate]], also known as drinking chocolate or cocoa, is a heated drink consisting of shaved [[chocolate]], melted chocolate or [[Cocoa solids|cocoa powder]], heated milk or water, and usually a sweetener. Hot chocolate may be topped with whipped cream. Hot chocolate made with melted chocolate is sometimes called drinking chocolate, characterized by less sweetness and a thicker consistency.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Chocolate: history, culture, and heritage |last1=Grivetti |first1=Louis E. |first2=Howard-Yana |last2=Shapiro |author-link2=Howard-Yana Shapiro |year=2009 |publisher=John Wiley and Sons |isbn=978-0-470-12165-8 |page=345 }}</ref>

The first chocolate drink is believed to have been created by the [[Maya civilization|Mayans]] around 2,500-3,000 years ago, and a cocoa drink was an essential part of [[Aztec]] culture by 1400 AD, by which they referred to as xocōlātl.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/6194447/Aztecs-and-cacao-the-bittersweet-past-of-chocolate.html |work=Telegraph |title=Aztecs and cacao: the bittersweet past of chocolate|author=Bee Wilson|date=15 Sep 2009}}</ref><ref name="Trivedi">{{cite magazine|last1=Trivedi|first1=Bijal|title=Ancient Chocolate Found in Maya "Teapot"|url=http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/07/0717_020717_TVchocolate.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020720150636/http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2002/07/0717_020717_TVchocolate.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 20, 2002|magazine=National Geographic|access-date=July 15, 2017|date=July 17, 2012}}</ref> The drink became popular in Europe after being introduced from Mexico in the [[New World]] and has undergone multiple changes since then. Until the 19th century, hot chocolate was even used medicinally to treat ailments such as liver and stomach diseases.

Hot chocolate is consumed throughout the world and comes in multiple variations, including the spiced ''chocolate para mesa'' of Latin America, the very thick ''cioccolata calda'' served in Italy and ''chocolate a la taza'' served in Spain, and the thinner hot cocoa consumed in the United States. Prepared hot chocolate can be purchased from a range of establishments, including [[cafeteria]]s, [[fast food restaurant]]s, [[coffeehouse]]s and [[teahouse]]s. Powdered hot chocolate mixes, which can be added to boiling water or hot milk to make the drink at home, are sold at [[grocery store]]s and [[online]].

=====Tea=====

Tea, the second most consumed drink in the world, is produced from infusing dried leaves of the ''Camellia sinensis'' shrub, in boiling water.<ref>{{cite book |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=DJ2j_bX6WTUC|title=Tea: The Drink that Changed the World |author= Martin, Laura C. |publisher=Tuttle Publishing|year=2007|pages=7–8|ref=Martin|isbn=978-0-8048-3724-8}}</ref> There are many ways in which tea is prepared for consumption: lemon or milk and sugar are among the most common additives worldwide. Other additions include butter and salt in [[Bhutan]], [[Nepal]], and [[Tibet]]; [[bubble tea]] in [[Taiwan]]; fresh ginger in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore; mint in North Africa and [[Senegalese tea culture|Senegal]]; cardamom in Central Asia; rum to make [[Jagertee]] in Central Europe; and coffee to make [[yuanyang (drink)|yuanyang]] in Hong Kong. Tea is also served differently from country to country: in [[China]], [[Japan]] and [[South Korea]] tiny cups are used to serve tea; in Thailand and the United States tea is often served cold (as "[[iced tea]]") or with a lot of sweetener; Indians boil tea with milk and a blend of spices as [[masala chai]]; tea is brewed with a [[samovar]] in Iran, [[Kashmir]], Russia and Turkey; and in the Australian [[Outback]] it is traditionally brewed in a [[billycan]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Saberi|first=Helen|title=Tea: A Global History|publisher=Reaktion Books|year=2010|pages=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781861897763/page/7 7]|isbn=978-1-86189-892-0|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781861897763|url-access=registration}}</ref>
Tea leaves can be processed in different ways resulting in a drink which appears and tastes different. Chinese yellow and green tea are steamed, roasted and dried; Oolong tea is semi-oxidised and appears green-black and black teas are fully oxidised.<ref>{{cite book|last=Gibson|first=E.L.|author2=Rycroft, J.A.|others=Watson, R.; Martin, C.|title=Psychological and Physiological Consequences of Drinking Tea ''in Handbook of Behavior, Food and Nutrition''|editor=Victor R.
