Literary notes about Coffee (AI summary)

In literary descriptions, the term “coffee” can be employed to evoke a rich, earthy hue that suggests warmth and depth. For instance, one author describes waters “of a coffee‐colour by reflection, and pale yellow by transmission” [1], using the term to create a vivid visual contrast that hints at complexity and natural beauty. This use of “coffee” as a color not only draws on the familiar, comforting shade of a well‐brewed cup but also enriches the imagery by blending sensory experience with visual detail.
  1. These waters, like those of the Atabapo, are of a coffee-colour by reflection, and pale yellow by transmission.
    — from Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 2 by Alexander von Humboldt
