Coffee, a wonderful drink popular in the world.

The word coffee originated in the African Ethiopian town of Kafa, which grew the world's first coffee tree. Coffee, tea and cocoa are called the three largest non-alcoholic beverages in the world.

Coffee first appeared around the 8th century BC, but coffee was recorded in the works of Homer, an ancient Greek poet, and in ancient Arab legends. Coffee was recorded as a magical black drink with a bitter taste, which can bring strong stimulation to people.

There are two legends about coffee. One is that more than a thousand years ago, when a shepherd herded his sheep, he put his sheep in a place where there was a coffee tree. The sheep were extraordinarily excited and lively after eating the coffee fruit. So the shepherd took the coffee fruit home and boiled it and found the secret of it. The shepherd told a monk to improve it. A drink that refines excellent black and bitter flavors but eliminates drowsiness and drowsiness. Another theory is that a fire broke out in a place with coffee trees, and the coffee fruit after the fire gave off a delicate fragrance, so people began to chew the fruit to refresh them. later, it was baked and ground and mixed with flour to make bread or drink, and the coffee fruit was regarded as a noble food.

According to historical records, around the 11th century AD, Africans began to brew coffee as a drink. Around the 13th century, Ethiopian troops invaded Yemen and brought coffee to the Arab world. As the Islamic doctrine forbids drinking, irritating coffee becomes popular in Islamic areas. Arabs put a lot of effort into improving and improving the cultural taste of coffee drinks. Coffee was once monopolized by the Arab world. Around the 15th and 16th centuries, merchants from Venice, Italy and the Netherlands intervened in the field of coffee. Coffee was quickly introduced into Europe and became popular all over the world.

Nowadays, coffee has become popular all over the world, and coffee trees are planted in all countries, but as far as coffee quality is concerned, it is the best in Arab countries and East Africa. The fruit taste, active ingredient content and individual yield of coffee grown in these high altitude areas are unique, belonging to the top grade coffee and the aristocracy of the coffee family.

Papua New Guinea, Africa has issued a coffee-themed stamp sheetlet decorated with luxuriant coffee trees with four stamps, showing the four processes of picking, screening, drying and baking the fruits of coffee trees. Portugal in Europe has issued a set of delicious drink stamps, one of which is directly printed with a cup of delicious coffee. When you see the stamps, your taste buds are naturally stimulated by the mellow aroma of coffee, which feels like there is nowhere to hide.
