The hometown Origin Culture of Coffee

According to the study of the origin of coffee, it is agreed that the earliest place of origin of coffee should be Ethiopia in Africa (ancient Abyssinia), which has produced magical fruits that have affected the world to this day.

The legend of the origin of coffee is generally accepted as the legend of Ethiopian shepherds. The story begins with a goat: a young shepherd named Kaldi found that his goat had eaten a kind of red fruit and danced excitedly without sleeping, so he caught it and tasted it. He told the monks he knew about it, and the legend of coffee began.

Coffee began a long journey around the world: for more than a century, it spread from East Africa through Yemen to the Arabian Peninsula, then to the Middle East through Turkey, across the Eurasian land bridge and to Europe. It spread to America and Asia through the Europeans. No matter in the Muslim, Christian or Buddhist world, human beings all enjoy the gift of nature!

At present, the main producing areas of coffee are concentrated in the narrow strip with the equator as the center line and latitudes within 25 degrees from north to south, like a belt around the earth, commonly known as the coffee belt (Coffee Belt). Coffee belt is located in the tropics, because coffee trees are not cold-resistant, the average annual temperature is about 22 ℃, neither hot nor cold is the most suitable. The average annual rainfall is 1500-2000 mm, and the average rainfall, especially during flowering and growth, is sufficient, while less rainfall during harvest is the best.

There are more than 60 countries in the coffee belt. In the past, countries in Central and South America have accounted for more than half of the total global output. In recent years, the output of Southeast Asia has greatly increased, which has attracted people's attention. According to National Coffee Association data from 1997 to 1998, the top ten countries in coffee production are Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico, Ethiopia, India, Guatemala, C ô te d'Ivoire and Uganda.
