“Green coffee” is a hit for stimulation and cleansing. How to prepare parsley coffee?

Although we drink different types of coffee, the most popular ones are the so-called little black dress or coffee with milk. It turns out that this drink can have different shapes and colors. “Green coffee” was invented by Dr. Stroescu Virgiliu Octavian, a Romanian endocrinologist and dietitian.

Thanks to this, the green cocktail has a stimulating and nourishing effect. But it is not everything.
