This History Of Coffee
Few drinks have as rich a history as coffee. For centuries, coffee has been enjoyed by people all over the world, and it shows no signs of slowing down. But where did coffee come from? And how did it become such a popular drink?
It all started in Ethiopia, where legend says a goatherd named Kaldi discovered coffee after seeing his goats eat the berries from a coffee tree and become more energetic. From Ethiopia, coffee spread to Yemen and then to Arabia, where it quickly became popular among the Sufi monks who used it to stay awake during long hours of prayer. From Arabia, coffee traveled to Turkey, Italy, and finally Europe, where it became a staple drink for aristocrats and commoners alike.
Coffee's popularity only grew from there. Today, it is estimated that over two billion cups of coffee are consumed every day around the world. And with so many different ways to enjoy coffee - from black to iced to frappuccino - it's no wonder this delicious drink shows no signs of going away any time soon.
