The origin of coffee Africa is the hometown of coffee

Africa-the hometown of Coffee

The history of coffee can be traced back more than a thousand years. Number one in the world

The coffee tree was distributed in the African province of KAFFA in Ethiopia.

Now. Local indigenous tribes often grind the fruit of coffee and work with animals

The fat is mixed and kneaded together to make many spherical balls and treat them as

Precious food, specially for those soldiers who are about to go out to battle.

At the time, people didn't understand what it was like for coffee eaters to show hyperactivity--

They don't know that this is caused by the irritation of coffee. Instead, people think of it as a coffee eater.

The religious fanaticism showed that the drink was very mysterious, and coffee became a special item for priests and doctors.

There are two main stories about the process of coffee discovery so far, the most widespread of which is related to herdsmen: a herdsman found that his sheep became particularly excited after eating the fruit of a wild coffee tree. Out of curiosity, he also tasted the coffee. Due to the role of coffee beans, the herdsman was as excited and danced like those banging goats. This scene happened to be hit by a group of monks, so whenever they needed to hold a religious ceremony at night, the monks boiled coffee beans into soup and drank it to keep themselves awake.

The World-the wide spread of Coffee

As batches of slaves were sold from Africa to Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula, coffee was taken everywhere along the way. To be sure, coffee was grown in Yemen in the 15th century or earlier. For hundreds of years, Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula was the only coffee producer in the world. At that time, in Venice, Italy, countless merchant ships traded perfumes, tea and textiles with Arab merchants. In this way, coffee spread to a wide area of Europe through Venice. The market demand for coffee is very strong, so the local coffee has a very strong sense of protection. In the Yemeni port of Mocha, when coffee is shipped out, it is often guarded by heavy troops to prevent coffee saplings from being carried out of the country.

Despite many restrictions, the barrier was finally broken by the Dutch, who finally smuggled surviving coffee trees and seeds to the Netherlands in 1616 and began to grow them in greenhouses.

The strong demand for coffee has laid a solid foundation for the rapid expansion of coffee in areas other than its origin. In the 17th century, the Dutch introduced coffee to their colony of Indonesia. Subsequently, the French transplanted coffee trees in Martinique (in Latin America) and the Antilles (in the West Indies). Later, the British, Spaniards and Portuguese began to invade tropical coffee-growing areas in Asia and America.

Today, coffee has become the second largest trading product in the world after oil.
