At first, coffee was expensive in Europe. Only aristocrats could drink coffee, and coffee was even called "black gold". Until 1690, a Dutch captain sailed to Yemen and got some coffee seedlings, which were successfully planted in Indonesia. In 1727, the wife of a diplomat in Dutch Guiana gave some coffee seeds to a Spaniard in Brazil, where he planted them with good results. The climate in Brazil is very suitable for coffee growth, and coffee has spread rapidly in South America since then. Coffee, which has fallen in price due to mass production, has become an important drink for Europeans.

There is also a popular story about an Arab (or Egyptian) shepherd who found that his goat became more energetic after eating coffee fruit. He reported his findings to the abbot of the local monastery. The abbot conducted experiments on monks and found that this soup could keep them awake during night prayers.

It is recorded that in 1454 the commentator of the Islamic Code of Aden visited Ethiopia, where he saw his countrymen drinking coffee and sent someone to buy some coffee beans when they returned home. This drink not only frees him from illness, but also clears his head. Soon, coffee became popular among Islamic monks.

Coffee consumption and cultivation in Yemen can be traced back to 1454. The government allowed drinking and growing coffee that year, because the government may find that the exciting function of coffee is preferable to the hypnotic function of gat. Gat was widely planted and used nationwide at that time.

The word coffee comes from the Latin word for the genus coffea. This genus is a member of Rubiaceae. It has more than five hundred species and 6000 varieties, most of which are heat-stagnant trees and shrubs.

Linnemas, a Swedish botanist in the 18th century, described this genus, but botanists disagreed on its precise classification. There may be at least 25 major varieties of coffee, all of which are native to tropical Africa and some islands in the Indian Ocean. However, due to the varieties of trees and seeds, they are also different. All kinds of coffea are woody plants, but they may be low shrubs or trees higher than 10 meters, and the leaves vary in color from light yellow to purple.
