Foreign coffee is when foreign coffee flows into China's foreign coffee market

With the first coffee bean picked, the first roasting test, the first grinding, the first blending and the mellow smell of the first cup of hot coffee, the legend of coffee cultivation and coffee culture spreading on our small planet has become one of the greatest and most romantic stories in history.

There are all kinds of legends about the origin of coffee, but most of them are forgotten because of its absurdity. However, people will not forget that Africa is the hometown of coffee. Coffee trees are likely to be found in Ethiopia's KAFFA province. Later, batches of slaves were sold from Africa to Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula, and coffee was taken everywhere along the way. To be sure, Yemen started growing coffee in the 15th century or earlier. Although Arabia had the busiest port city in the world at that time, it banned the export of any seeds. This barrier was finally broken through by the Dutch, and in 1616, they finally smuggled the surviving coffee trees and seeds to the Netherlands and began to grow them in greenhouses.

Although Arabs ban the export of coffee seeds, they are indeed very open inside. The first coffee shops known as "Kavin Kahn" opened in Mecca, and for the first time in human history, anyone who spent a cup of coffee could go in and sit in a comfortable environment to do business and date.

Coffee enters Asia

The Arabs failed to spread coffee in Asia, but the Dutch did! In the process of colonization, they grew coffee in Malaba, India, and brought it to Batavia in what is now Java, Indonesia, in 1699. The Dutch colonies once became the main supplier of coffee in Europe. At present, Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee exporter in the world.

Coffee enters Europe Venice merchants first brought coffee to Europe in 1615. By 1683, Europe's first coffee shop opened in Venice, and the most famous was the Floran Cafe, which opened in St. Mark's Square in 1720 and is still doing brisk business today. It is worth mentioning that London Lloyd, the world's largest insurer, started as a coffee shop.

Coffee entered America in 1668, and coffee became popular in South America as a fashion drink, followed by coffee shops in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and other North American cities. The Boston Tea Party case of 1773 was planned in a coffee shop called Green Dragon. Today, both the New York Stock Exchange and the Bank of New York in the famous Wall Street financial district began in coffee shops.
