Basic knowledge of fine coffee in coffee communication period chronology

Coffee spread

Arabia (eleventh century)→ Egypt, Syria... (thirteenth century)→ Damascus (sixteenth century)→ Europe (seventeenth century)

The first people to cultivate and consume coffee were Arabs.

At the beginning of the eleventh century, people in Arabia boiled coffee into soup or dried it and boiled it as stomach medicine. Due to the strict Muslim precepts, it is strictly forbidden for Muslims to drink alcohol, so Muslims will use roasted juice instead of alcohol as a stimulant drink. The local people knew how to bake raw beans for use after the 13th century. This drink is centered on Muslim holy places and spread by Muslims, first from Arabia to Egypt. Coffee spread to Syria, Iran, Turkey, and was cultivated extensively and systematically by Arabs in the 12th and 13th centuries. In the 16th century, Damascus in the Middle East gave birth to the world's first coffee shop (1530). Over the next few years, throughout the empire, more than 200 cities had varying numbers of coffee shops, and there were mobile coffee tents on wilderness roads for merchants and armies. Coffee, on the other hand, was slowly introduced into Europe from Venice and the port of Marseille in the name of Arabic wine and the Turks 'expedition to Austria. King Clement VIII of France once said,"Though it is the devil's drink, it is delicious." It is a pity that such a drink should be kept exclusively by pagans." European coffee drinking was introduced in the 17th century by Italian merchants traveling around the world. The first coffee shop to appear in Venice was Bottegadel Coffee.
