Qianjie-A brief introduction to the original origin of coffee beans

There are actually many legends about coffee. The world's first coffee tree was found in the Horn of Africa and is one of the most popular.

At that time, indigenous tribes in Africa used to grind the fruit of coffee and knead it with animal fat to make many ball-shaped balls. These indigenous tribes regard these coffee balls as precious food for those soldiers who are about to go out to battle.

At that time, people did not understand what it was all about when coffee eaters showed hyperactivity-they did not know that it was caused by the irritation of coffee. Instead, people regarded it as a religious fanaticism shown by coffee eaters. Think this kind of drink is very mysterious, in the tribe often by wizards to give this kind of food.

After it was introduced into the Arab region from Africa, it became popular to boil sun-dried coffee beans into soup and use them as stomach medicine. Believers gradually used coffee as an exciting drink instead of alcohol, and centered on the Islamic holy land of Mecca, spreading the drink through believers, from Arabia to Egypt, and then to Syria, Iran, Turkey and other places.

After the 13th century, Arabs knew how to dry raw coffee beans, bake them, mash them with a mortar and pestle, and then boil them with water to get purer coffee. As for the shops that sell coffee, the legend began with the Muslim shrine "Mecca". Around the 17th century, with the arrival of the "Great Navigation Age", the caravan of Venice, Italy, often came to the Arab region to import textiles and tea. I'm getting used to coffee. Coffee has gradually become popular in Italy, India, Britain and other places through trade routes.

Around 1650, the first coffee shop in Western Europe filled with the smell of coffee appeared in Oxford, England. With the advent of the colonial era, coffee has gone global with the pace of the "sunset" empire, and has become the first of the three most popular drinks in the world.

Ethiopia (Ethiopia)
