Where did coffee beans originate from?

Answer 1

The earliest credible evidence of either coffee drinking or knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the fifteenth century, in the Sufi monasteries around Mokha in Yemen. It was here in Arabia that coffee beans were first roasted and brewed, in a similar way to how it is now prepared.

Answer 2

The first record of coffee as a beverage takes us back to Ethiopia in the 9th century. Legend has it that a shepherd observed how his goats experienced a sudden burst in energy and appeared to dance after eating the cherries of the coffee plant.

(That's why you'll occasionally find coffee shops and coffee blends with the words "dancing goat" in their name.)

When people first figured out that coffee was best consumed after the beans were roasted and ground, I really don't know.

By the 15th century coffee was being enjoyed across the Middle East, from North Africa to Turkey and Persia.

Soon after, the Venetians imported coffee to Venice, from where the practice of drinking coffee slowly spread across Europe during the 17th century.

Coffee was slow to gain in popularity in North America. It wasn't until the war with Britain in 1812, and the accompanying restrictions on the import of tea, that coffee really became a popular drink.

Answer 3

The original coffee bean (Coffea arabica) was first cultivated in northeastern Africa, in the regions of Ethiopia and Sudan. There is a second species of coffee plant as well Coffea canephora (syn. Coffea robusta), this originally came from central sub-Saharan Africa.

The Coffea arabica plant, currently accounts for about 75 - 80% of the worlds production of coffee beans and the Coffea canephora the balance.

Today coffee is produced throughout the tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world.
