History
Coffee, a prevalent and extensively consumed beverage, is concocted from the seeds that reside within the fruit of the coffee tree. The chronicles of coffee trace back to the Middle Ages and the initial modern era. The said chronicles encompass the proliferation, dispersal, and progression of coffee consumption on a global scale
History: The primary origin of coffee throughout the world can be traced back to the second half of the 15th century and its roots can be found in Ethiopia, a country situated in northeastern Africa. It is believed that a goatherd named "Kaldi" inadvertently discovered coffee beans and, upon consumption, experienced heightened wakefulness and increased energy. In the 15th century, Arab traders transported coffee from Ethiopia to the shores of the Persian Gulf and subsequently to Egypt and other Arab regions. Coffee's popularity skyrocketed in Saudi Arabia where it became a ubiquitous fixture in local coffeehouses. By the 16th century, coffee was commercially transported from Saudi Arabia to other regions of the world. It was in the 16th century that coffee consumption became a common practice within Europe, particularly in Venice and London, where it captured widespread attention.
History
The dissemination of Coffee throughout Europe transpired with great speed, with coffeehouses being established in numerous cities. During the 17th century, traders hailing from both Dutch and French origins undertook the transportation of coffee seeds from Saudi Arabia to the Netherlands and Java, which is now referred to as Indonesia. Java's coffee cultivation thrived, transforming it into one of the most significant export commodities of the region. As time progressed, coffee production and consumption witnessed a surge on a global scale. This widespread popularity facilitated the inception of a worldwide coffee industry, with several countries, particularly Brazil, Vietnam, and Colombia, being acknowledged as the most extensive coffee producers.
