The Historical Legend of Coffee basic knowledge of Coffee

There are several legends about the origin of coffee, among which the more familiar is the story of the shepherd: around 600 AD, a shepherd found that his sheep would hiss excitedly every night. In fear, he asked the priest in the temple for help. After carefully observing the sheep for a few days, the priest found that the sheep had eaten an unknown fruit. The priest ate some of it himself and found the fruit exciting. Since then, the priest called it "a sacred object that removes drowsiness and purifies the mind." since then, coffee has become medicine, food and drink. In 1200 AD, coffee was spread by a Muslim who had been exiled to Yemen for crime. From the origin to the Red Sea to Athens, Cairo, 1300 and then to Iran, 1500 or so to Turkey, coffee has gradually become a popular drink.

As for shops that sell coffee, the legend begins with Mecca, a Muslim shrine. Around the 17th century, coffee became more and more popular in Italy, India, Britain and other places through trade routes.

Around 1650, the first coffee shop in Western Europe filled with fragrance appeared in Oxford, England.

…… During the Renaissance in 1605, some Christians thought that coffee was a pagan drink and called it "Satan's drink" and asked the then pope to order a ban on it, but the pope who tried the "devil's drink" was amazed that there was such a delicious drink in the world, so he arranged a baptism and formally designated coffee as a Christian drink, extending coffee from Muslim areas to other areas.
