History of Arabian Coffee:

The origin of coffee is said to have originated from the shepherds of Ethiopia and later spread to Arab countries, but according to historical data, there was a record of trade between the leaf gate of the Arabian Peninsula and Ethiopia across the Red Sea in the eighth century AD. At this time, the leaf gate also has a record of artificial cultivation of coffee trees, so it is widely believed that coffee was introduced into Arabia during this period.

In the 11th century, Arabs ate coffee as sun-dried and fried as stomach medicine and refreshing medicine, and the way coffee was made gradually improved, until around the 15th century, coffee gradually became a popular drink. When it was introduced into Europe, the Europeans commonly known as Arabian wine, and then coffee gradually spread all over the world.

Usually, they have a drink after dinner or when they entertain guests, and it is also a big part of their lives to go to the cafe when they are all right.
