Coffee Culture Story Coffee and the Hebrew Story

The cultivation of coffee as a crop, though not widespread, has been around since the time of Abraham.

If you read the Bible carefully and are familiar with the geography of Mesopotamia, Arabia, and Egypt, you will surely find that coffee was a disorderly growing crop and a Hebrew drink between 1800 BC and 800 A. D. coffee became a regular crop between 600 and 1600 AD and has been a Christian drink since 1600.

Coffee first appeared in the Bible in Genesis 1. In spite of her old age, Sarah gave birth to Isaac to Abraham. Shortly after Isaac was born, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. When he had to sacrifice his son, an angel stopped him.

In return for his loyalty to God, Abraham received countless seeds and wealth. After Abraham's death, God blessed Isaac. However, Abraham had two sons. In addition to Isaac, the son born to Sarah, the other is Ismail, the son of Sarah's maid. Isaac married Rebecca at the age of 14 because she was infertile. Isaac prayed to God that God blessed Rebecca to get her pregnant. She gave birth to twins, Esau and Jacob. Isaac preferred Esau, and when the brothers grew up, Esau became a smart and rich hunter, while Jacob was an ordinary man who lived in a tent.

One day when Esau came back, he fainted and woke up, and he asked Jacob to take care of him. And Esau said to Jacob. "I'm going to faint. Please save me with those red beans!" Jacob said, "unless you sell me the eldest son's inheritance." Esau said, "take it. I'm dying. What's the use of this inheritance to me?" Jacob replied, "you have to swear today before I can trust you." So Esau went to Master Jacob and sold him the right of inheritance.

From then on, Jacob gave Esau bread and cereal soup, and after Esau had enough to eat and drink, his health slowly got better. In this way, Esau filled his own inheritance structure. One of the red beans mentioned in this story is probably the red coffee beans in Esau's soup.
