The first European to see Cocoa beans was Christopher Columbus in the West Indies (if not one of his crewmen). The first European to see it consumed as a drink may have been Hernando Cortez in Mexico (if not one of his men). (Cocoa beans were known to the original Human settlers in the New World from prehistoric times, originally probably somewhere in the area of present day Peru.)
