Before we know how Arabica got its name, let's look at the origin of coffee.

Coffee was originally named kaffa bunn (meaning fruit from Ethiopia). By Ethiopians, in the form of war, forcibly brought to the Arab country-Yemen.

Initially, coffee was not a beverage with various flavors, but a stimulant similar to Red Bull and "Dali". After the soldiers smashed the coffee fruit, they wrapped it in animal fat and rubbed it into small balls to supplement their strength.

In the fourteenth century, Arabs discovered that coffee tastes better when soaked in water from the outer skin, and later discovered that the seeds inside taste better when soaked in hot water after being roasted, and have a more refreshing effect, and do not contain alcohol, which does not violate Islamic rules.

In the first few hundred years of coffee's existence, Arabs controlled most of Yemen's coffee and brought it to Europe through trade. Europeans, unwilling to take high-priced coffee from Arab merchants, managed to get coffee seeds from Yemen and India by all means.

In Java, Ceylon, Sri Lanka and other large areas of cultivation, relying on low prices and a large number of high-quality beans, heavy Arab coffee.

The Dutch, who harvested the sweetness of coffee, carefully transplanted coffee into their own greenhouses and invited the famous botanist of the time, Karl von Linne.

After careful study, Linnaeus discovered that all the coffee at that time, whether Indian or Indonesian, came from Yemen in the Arab region, so he gave all the coffee at that time with a stroke of his pen.

An elegant and resounding name,"Arabica" coffee, and thus Arabica coffee was born.
