Because of the limited quantity, coffee is always consumed in small amounts from small cups known as <i>tacitas<\/i>.\u00a0 As exports from <span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span> are being lifted beginning with Cuban-grown coffee, a cultural coffee exchange between the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> island and the U.S. is due. Here are a few helpful terms to understanding Cuban coffee:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Caf\u00e9 cubano or cafecito \u2013 espresso mixed with sugar <\/li>\n<li>Cortadito \u2013 espresso topped with steamed milk <\/li>\n<li>Caf\u00e9 con leche \u2013coffee and hot milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><u>About the CMPB<br \/><\/u><\/b>The California Milk Processor Board was established in 1993 to make milk more competitive and increase milk consumption in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>. Awareness of &#8220;got milk?&#8221; is over 90% nationally and it is considered one of the most important and successful campaigns in history. The &#8220;got milk?&#8221; trademark is a federally registered trademark and service mark that was licensed by the National Dairy Board in 1995 for use in its advertising, including their long-running &#8220;Milk Mustache&#8221; campaign. The CMPB&#8217;s Spanish-language campaign began in 1994 using the tagline &#8220;Familia, Amor y Leche&#8221; (Family, Love and Milk). The &#8220;toma leche&#8221; (Drink Milk) campaign replaced it in 2006 in order to better align the English and Spanish language work. The CMPB is funded by all <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> milk processors and is an instrumentality of the California Department of Food and Agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <br \/>(1) \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/1008\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/1008<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/476723\/Euro_Cuban.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/476723\/Euro_Cuban.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">SAN CLEMENTE, California<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 9, 2017<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; In <span class=\"xn-location\">Cuba<\/span>, coffee is a daily part of the relaxed island culture, where a hot cup is celebrated as a way to bring friends together, whether it is catching up on the day&#8217;s news over a &#8220;cafecito&#8221; at a street caf\u00e9 or exchanging gossip over a pot of strong brew at home.
