The origin of coffee can be traced back to millions of years ago.
In fact, the real age when it was discovered can no longer be traced.
It is only said that coffee is a shepherd named Kaldi in the highlands of Ethiopia.
When he found out that his sheep had inadvertently eaten the fruit of a plant
Became very lively and full of vitality, and then discovered the coffee.
All historians seem to agree that the birthplace of coffee is the Kaffa region of Ethiopia.
But the earliest people who planned to grow and eat coffee were Arabs.
And the name coffee is believed to be derived from the Arabic "Qahwah", which means plant material.
The earliest Arab way to eat coffee was to chew the whole fruit (Coffee Cherry) to absorb its juice.
Then they mixed the ground coffee beans with animal fat as a physical supplement for long trips.
It was not until about 1000 AD that green coffee beans were boiled into fragrant drinks in boiling water.
Three centuries later, the Arabs began to bake and grind coffee beans
Because drinking is strictly forbidden in the Koran, Arabs consume a lot of caffeine
In fact, religion is also a big factor in the popularity of coffee in the Arab world.
In the 16th century, coffee was in the name of "Arabic wine"
It was gradually introduced into Europe through Venice and the port of Marseille.
The custom of drinking coffee among Europeans was gradually spread by the Venice merchants of Italy in the 17th century.
Bottega del Caffe, the first coffee shop in Europe, appeared in Venice.
For 400 years, the drinking habit of coffee has not only spread from the West to the East.
It has even become an unstoppable fashion.
