Last Updated: 2024/09/17, Coffee spread abroad from Ethiopia around the 15th century. From the great bazaar in Gundel, the ancient capital of Ethiopia, merchants carried coffee beans northwest to Sudan, to Egypt and Mediterranean countries, and eastward across the Red Sea to Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula. People in the Middle East call it Arabica Coffee. Since then, it has been widely drunk. Later, it spread far away.

Coffee spread abroad from Ethiopia around the 15th century. From the great bazaar in Gundel, the ancient capital of Ethiopia, merchants carried coffee beans northwest to Sudan, to Egypt and Mediterranean countries, and eastward across the Red Sea to Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula. People in the Middle East call it "Arabica Coffee" and have been widely drunk since then. Later, it spread to the far East and finally across the Pacific Ocean to the American continent. Now, Brazil is the new largest producer of coffee. There is also one of the largest Ethiopian Arabica coffee markets in the United States. When coffee was first discovered, the wild shrub plant had no name. The local people named him after the "Kafa" where he grew up. Later, the name of the world's "coffee" evolved from "kaffa" in the mountains of the Qima region of southwestern Ethiopia, where a wild shrub bearing small red fruits grew. A shepherd kept making noise when he found that his goats had eaten the bush fruit. As a result, he also curiously took some off and chewed it in his mouth, and soon felt excited, because he chewed too much and he was in a state of ecstasy. When the news reached a nearby Orthodox monastery, a group of monks chewed with curiosity and had the same effect. So monks from all sides came to pick and chew this extraordinary "magic" little red fruit, so excited that they could not sleep for a long time, thus affecting their normal religious activities. So the church regarded the small red fruit as a "devil bean" and banned its followers from eating it. Therefore, for a long time after coffee was discovered, Ethiopians did not eat coffee and did not know how to make coffee tea. Burundi is a small landlocked country located on the border of eastern and central Africa, across the Nile and Congo basins. the landform is mainly hilly and mountainous, with excellent coffee cultivation altitude. The history of coffee cultivation in Burundi is not long, its coffee planting industry is carried out entirely in the form of small family farms, there is a great difference in quality, and years of war and social unrest have made its coffee planting industry very chaotic. But I have to admit that it has the potential to produce high-quality coffee.
