A brief history of the origin and development of coffee

No one knows about the place where coffee was born, and there are different opinions about the origin of coffee. In order to get an accurate answer, coffee experts and botanists investigated coffee and found that Ethiopia in Africa is the hometown of coffee. According to the current investigation, there are a large number of unknown wild coffee trees in the African rainforest, whose fruit flavor is unique and well received by experts.
