Coffee legend Coffee the origin of this plant dates back millions of years

Coffee is a plant whose origins date back millions of years,

In fact, the true age of its discovery is unknown,

Coffee is said to have originated from a shepherd named Kaldi in the Ethiopian highlands.

When he discovered that his sheep had accidentally eaten the fruit of a plant,

It became very lively and energetic, and coffee was discovered.

All historians seem to agree that coffee was born in the Kaffa region of Ethiopia.

But the Arabs were the first to cultivate and consume coffee in a planned way,

The name coffee is believed to derive from the Arabic word Qahwah, meaning plant material.

The earliest Arabs ate coffee by chewing the whole fruit (Coffee Cherry) to extract its juice.

They then mixed ground coffee beans with animal fat as a strength supplement for long trips,

It wasn't until about 1000 AD that green coffee beans were boiled in boiling water to make an aromatic drink.

Three centuries later, Arabs began roasting and grinding coffee beans,

Because alcohol is forbidden in the Koran, Arabs consume a lot of caffeine,

Religion is also a big factor in the popularity of coffee in the Arab world.

Coffee was introduced in the 16th century under the name "arabic wine,"

It was gradually introduced into Europe via Venice and the port of Marseille.

The European coffee drinking custom was gradually spread by Venetian merchants in Italy in the 17th century.

Europe's first coffee shop appeared in Venice-Bottega del Caffe.

For four hundred years, coffee drinking habits have spread not only from the west to the east,

It has even become an unstoppable trend.
