Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia and so on. Africa is the hometown of coffee, and coffee trees were found in Kafa province of Ethiopia. Later, batches of slaves were sold from Africa to Yemen and Arabia, and coffee was brought to all places along the way. To be sure, Yemen began to grow coffee in the15th century or earlier. Nowadays, many people mistakenly think that coffee originated in Europe, but the mainstream view in the world academic circles still thinks that Africa and Ethiopia are the real origin of coffee.

The history of coffee

The source of coffee is hard to find. One of many legends refers to the origin of coffee in the plateau area of Kafa province in southwest Ethiopia. It is said that a shepherd found that sheep became very excited and lively after eating a plant more than 1000 years ago, so he discovered coffee. It is also said that a wildfire burned down a coffee forest, and the smell of barbecue coffee attracted the attention of the surrounding residents. People first chewed the fruit of this plant to refresh themselves, and later baked it and ground it with flour to make bread, which was used as food for warriors to improve their courage in fighting. However, these legends and stories are not supported by historical documents, and only appear in the travel biographies of later generations, so there is no way to verify the real reason for the origin of coffee.
