The legend of Sheikh Omar is the story recorded by the Islamist Abdar Qadi in his Book of Coffee in 1587. The stage of the story is in the Yemeni mountains of the 13th century: in 1258, Shek Omar, the chief expelled by his people for crime, was hungry and tired when he wandered to Vasaba, Arabia, far from his hometown of Mocha. when he sat on the root of a tree to rest, he found a bird perched on a branch, singing in a melodious voice he had never heard before. When he looked carefully, he found that the bird was pecking at the fruit on the branch before making this wonderful cry, so he picked the fruit from that area and put it into a pot to boil it with water, which soon began to give off a strong fragrance. After drinking, he not only felt sound and delicious, but also relieved physical and mental exhaustion, so he picked many of these magical fruits and made soup for them when he met patients. Because of his good deeds everywhere, the king and his old friends pardoned his crimes, asked him to return to his hometown and respected him as a "saint"

According to historical records, coffee was first planted in Taiwan in 1884, which opened the prelude to the development of coffee in China. The earliest coffee cultivation in the mainland began in Yunnan, when a French missionary brought the first coffee seedlings to Binchuan County in Yunnan Province at the beginning of the 20th century. In the following nearly a hundred years, coffee was only "dotted" in the vast territory of China. However, in recent years, the development of coffee cultivation and consumption in China has attracted more and more attention of the world. Maxwell, Nestle, Colombia and other international coffee companies have set up branches or factories in China to provide better varieties and prices for the Chinese market. As a part of the western way of life, coffee has officially entered the Chinese family and life; cafes in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities have sprung up with the growth of coffee culture and become a new consumption fashion for young people, decorated with urban customs.

Coffee became popular in South America as a fashionable drink in 1668, followed by coffee houses 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 start in coffee shops. Coffee was first grown in America in the 1820s, and it was the Dutch who first spread coffee to Central and South America. Coffee spread from the Dutch colonies to French Guiana and Brazil, and then by the British to Jamaica. By 1925, growing coffee had become a tradition in Central and South America. In the same year, Hawaii also began to grow coffee, which is the only coffee producer in the United States, and Hawaiian coffee is one of the best coffee in the world. To date, Brazil is already the world's largest coffee producer, accounting for about 30 per cent of global coffee production, while Colombia is the second largest coffee producer, accounting for about 12 per cent of global coffee production. North America is currently the region with the largest consumption of coffee. In Seattle, "Latai" culture reinterprets the connotation of coffee culture, combining unique flavor coffee, beautifully designed coffee utensils with fashion and art, and swept the world.
