Basic knowledge of boutique coffee planting and harvesting of coffee

The first people to drink coffee lived in Ethiopia. A drink called "buncham" was found in the Arab scientific literature of 900-1000 AD, but it is not certain that it is coffee. These documents mainly record the scientific value of this bean called "buncham".

In addition to introducing the protective effect of this drink on "stomach, organs and skin", the author also mentioned that it can give off fragrance all over the body. Indeed, coffee does have this special effect that seems to retain aroma through sweat glands. This deodorant effect must be popular before people get into the habit of taking regular baths, or in places where water resources are scarce.

According to an Arab legend, around 1250, the exiled chief Omar discovered exuberant wild coffee berries. The hungry and tired sheikh boiled some of the fruit in water and drank the brewed 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 triumphantly from Mocha's exile.

There is also a widely circulated story about an Arab shepherd who found that his goat became more energetic after eating coffee fruit. He reported his findings to the abbot of the local monastery. The abbot conducted experiments on monks and found that this soup could keep them awake during night prayers.

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

Coffee consumption and cultivation in Yemen can be traced back to 1454. The government allowed drinking and growing coffee that year, because the government may find that the exciting function of coffee is preferable to the hypnotic function of gat. Gat was widely planted and used nationwide at that time.
