The earliest coffee shops in the history of cafes

We don't know who started drinking coffee the most, but it's certain that they live in Ethiopia.

A beverage called "Buncham" has been found in the Arab scientific literature of 900m AD 1000, but it is not necessarily coffee. The main purpose of these documents is to marvel at the scientific value of this bean called "Buncham".

In addition to introducing the care and infection of this drink to the stomach, organs and skin, the author also mentioned that it can make the whole body fragrant. In fact, coffee does have this special effect that seems to retain fragrance through sweat glands. Before people get into the habit of taking a bath on time, or in places where water capital is scarce, this deodorant effect must be very popular.

In an Arab legend that was manipulated in 1250, the exiled Chief Omar (SheikhOmar) discovered that the thriving wild coffee syrup was not beautiful. The hungry and disgusted sheikh boiled some unsightly in water and drank the boiled coffee pulp. He liked the change in his diet very much and gave the drink to some people who had just recovered from a serious illness.

Chief Omar brought back some fine coffee beans when he returned from the triumph of the mocha stream. There are several stories about this story, but the only thing that fits together is that almost all of them have the name Omar. Others include stories about ghosts, stories about a beautiful princess in Mocha who extricate herself from illness, and stories about a magical bird (it makes a sweet call, leads Omar to a tree full of coffee and disappears).

It is recorded that the interpreter of the Islamic Code of Aden visited Ethiopia in 1454, where he saw his countrymen drinking coffee and sent someone to buy some coffee beans when they returned home. This drink not only relieves him of his illness, but also clears his head. Coffee soon became popular among Islamic haters.

In the third most famous city in early American history-Philadelphia, the earliest cafe opened in 1700-it was called YeCoffeeHouse (whose primary competitor was the London Cafe (LondonCoffeeHouse).

Coffee consumption and cultivation in Yemen can be traced back to 1454. The government granted permission to drink and grow coffee that year, because the government may have found that coffee's exciting function is better than the hypnotic function of coffee (qat or kat). Coffee was widely grown and used nationwide at that time.

The earliest cafe, called KavehKanes, was built in Mecca. Although originally for a religious purpose, these places soon became centers for playing chess, chatting, singing, dancing and appreciating music. Big wheat adds up, and cafes are common in Aden, Medina (Medina) and Cairo (Cairo).

After SalimI I conquered Egypt in 1517, coffee was brought to Constantinople, where people gradually got into the habit of drinking coffee. Coffee was introduced to Damascus in 1530 and to Aleppo in 1532, where people developed the habit one after another. The most famous cafes in Damascus are the Rose Cafe and the Salvation Gate Cafe.

Although there were no cafes in Constantinople until 1554, they were soon known for their luxurious attire as shop owners competed to attract customers. They have become places to socialize and do business, and oddities are becoming the center of political debate. Governments of all ages have banned coffee production-at one point, coffee defenders were sewn into the Bosphorus Strait in leather bags-but when taxes were imposed on coffee, it gained its rightful place.

Why are cafes so popular in the Middle East and Europe? The reason is very simple, because there were no cafes or other places before. Before the cafe appeared, there was no place to drink a delicious but relatively inexpensive drink with your friends.

Over the past 200 years, people who have studied the origin of coffee have come to some strange conclusions. One author believes that coffee has existed since the time of Homer and was later drunk by Troy, who is said to have been brought to Troy by Helen and Sparta. Another author concluded that KingDavid had been given coffee by Abigail, and that both Esau and Ruth had drunk it.

Venice merchants spread coffee to the continents of Europe in 1615. It appears in Europe several years later than tea and many years later than cocoa. Tea was first sold in Europe in 1610, and cocoa was brought to Europe by Spaniards on New year's Eve in 1528.

There is also a widely spread story about a shepherd in Arabia (or Egypt or somewhere else) who found that his goat became more energetic after eating coffee. He asked the abbot of the local monastery for instructions on his findings. The abbot tried on the lovers and found that this soup could keep them awake when they prayed at night.

When coffee was first presented in Italy, some priests thought that coffee was the product of sin and should be exposed. Forbidden. Archbishop ClementVIII,1592-1605 VIII decided to taste the coffee himself. He loved the taste of coffee. Instead of imposing a ban, he announced that "coffee should be crowned as a true Christian drink."

At first, coffee was counted as a drug sold at a high price, and it was also widely sold by small lemonade vendors. The earliest Italian cafe that can be identified is the bottega Cafe, which opened in Venice in 1863 (another dubious theory is 1645). In 1720, Floriano Francescari opened the Florian Cafe in St. Mark's Square (PiazzaSanMarco), which is one of the ten most famous and expensive cafes in the world (excluding Japan). The cafe is still called Caffes in Italy and Cafes in other parts of Europe.

After that, cafes quickly became popular, most of which were opened in Venice. GeorgioQuadri, the first merchant to sell real Turkish coffee, opened a coffee shop in 1775. Then DucdiToscania, Imperatore lmperatrice della Russia, Tamerlan Tamerlano, FantaediDiana, DameVenete, Pace, Arabo-Piastrelle and others all ran coffee shops one after another.

The most famous remaining London cafe was founded by Edward EdwardLloyd in 1688, initially at TowerStreet and later moved to LombardStreet. In order to provide convenience to customers, Lloyd always announces a lot of forms to register customers' insured ships. Later, the Lloyds set up one of the largest private insurance companies in the world.

In North America, the earliest references to coffee began in 1668. At that time, coffee was described as a drink mixed with sugar and cinnamon. Shortly after that, there were cafes in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and other towns.

The two earliest cafes in Boston were London Cafe (LondonCoffeeHouse) and Gutred Cafe (Gutteridge CoffeeHouse), which opened in 1691. One of the most famous is the Green Dragon Cafe (GreenDragon), where the Boston Tea Party (BostonTeaParty) in 1773 was planned. Boston had the largest, most expensive and most beautifully decorated coffee business in the world at that time. Built in 1808, it is a $50,000 seven-story building modeled after Lloyd's Cafe in London, but was destroyed by fire only 10 years later.

The market for green coffee beans began in New York in 1683, and coffee soon replaced must beer as the first drink for breakfast. William WilliamPenn ordered some coffee beans in Pennsylvania, New York. The first cafe in New York was the King'sArms Cafe, which opened in 1696. Then came the business cafe (ExchangeCoffeeHouse) on BroadStreet in 1730, which later became a premier business center. But compared with the Merchant Cafe (Merchants'CoffeeHouse), it is overshadowed. In 1784, it was at the Merchant Cafe that the Bank of New York opened, and Rehabilitation published its first stocks in 1790. Tontine, located on WallandWaterStreets in New York, was the headquarters of the New York stock business for 10 years.

American coffee is too different from European cafes, which is the center of conservative accumulation, not the Liuhe of activists, Republicans or literary figures. In cities with poor public buildings, cafes are often places for interrogations and meetings of city councillors.
