The coffee tree originated in Ethiopia, which was originally a wild plant here. The name "coffee" comes from the Ethiopian town of "Kaffa". In fact, many coffee trees in Ethiopia are still wild plants, and the coffee grown on this coffee tree is full-grained and slightly alcoholic. Humans may have known how to grow coffee trees as early as the 9th century, but who, how and why is still a mystery. The local legend in Ethiopia is that coffee began to be used by monks to keep a clear head when praying at night.

Today, Ethiopia is an important coffee producer, with about 12 million people engaged in coffee production and a major exporter of Arab coffee beans in Africa. The high-quality coffee here is of excellent quality and is worth looking for.
