Africa is the home of coffee.

Africa is considered the home of coffee. But coffee actually originated in Ethiopia and was spread all over the world through the port of Mocha in Yemen. Ethiopian coffee cultivation began in 575 AD, for those Arabs, coffee was like the silk of China at that time, belonging to the national treasure. It would be a great honor for anyone to be able to taste this aromatic refreshing drink, which was enjoyed only by a few religious people at that time. Arabs avoid coffee being grown in other countries, so all coffee beans are exported only after husking. In the 17th century, BaBa Budan, a pilgrimage to Mecca, brought some germinating coffee beans home to southwest India, starting the spread of coffee around the world. Initially, coffee had been treated as a miracle drug, restricted to prescription use. However, its exciting effects eventually became widely used, and many people saw it as a stimulant to stimulate the brain, and some people thought it had the effect of promoting religious hallucinations. Thus, in the center of the Islamic holy city of Mecca, coffee houses have sprung up. Later, coffee gradually became popular in Italy, India, Britain and other places through trade routes.
