From ancient times to the present, there are many theories about the origin of coffee beans. One of the most common is the story of shepherds and sheep. It is said that a shepherd suddenly found his sheep jumping and dancing while grazing. If you look carefully, it turns out that it was the sheep who ate a kind of red fruit that led to abnormal behavior. So he picked some red fruit and went back to boil it. Unexpectedly, it was full of fragrance, and when he drank it, it was even more refreshing and refreshing. From then on, this kind of fruit was used as a refreshing medicine and was well received.

In ancient times, Arabs first dried and boiled coffee beans and drank the juice as stomach medicine, thinking that it could help digestion. Later, it was found that coffee water also had a refreshing effect, and at the same time, the Muslim world forbade people from drinking alcohol, so coffee water was used instead of alcohol as a refreshing and refreshing drink.

After the 15th century, Muslims who took part in the holy pilgrimage to Mecca gradually spread coffee to Egypt, Syria, Iran, Turkey and other countries. Coffee entered Europe thanks to Turkey's then villain Empire. As the coffee-drinking Ottoman army marched westward to Europe, and the attack lasted for several years, when the army finally withdrew. Leaving a large number of supplies, including coffee beans, enabled Vienna and Paris to develop an European coffee culture based on these beans and the experience of cooking delicious coffee learned by the Turks.

War was originally an attack, destruction and occupation, but it unexpectedly brought about cultural exchanges and even integration, which was unexpected by military strategists.
