coffee. But have you ever thought about where your rich cup of coffeeis from? Maybe from a plantation in Hawaii or possibly
the Mediterranean or something similar, might be your answer. Yes probably correct but lets get specific.
It is believed that the word coffee came from Kaffa, Ethiopia, the origin place of plantation coffee bean. The Arabs
called coffee "qahhwa". The Ottoman Turkish borrowed the word and coined their own, "kahve". Then later on, the Italians used "kahve" as
basis for the word "caffè." However, the word "coffee" itself wasn't used prior to the early 1600s.
The plantation coffee bean cultivation began in the highlands of Ethiopia at the beginning of the 9th century. Because of
operations and explorations, coffee dropped down from the mountains to Egypt and Yemen. And by the 15th century, coffee has reached over
Persia, Egypt, Turkey and North Africa.
But even though plantation coffee was reaching a far greater audience or market, it has never been as popular, at least
not at first. Some conservative imams were against the stimulating effect of plantation coffee bean. The same conservative views brought a
ban on coffee houses and coffee in Cairo, Egypt.
However, the popularity of plantation coffee could'nt be stopped. Fairly early on, the bans were lifted and plantation coffee
began to flow. From World of the Ottomans, plantation coffee invaded Europe fervently. In less than two centuries, traditional coffee since
has become a very popular drink in Europe.
The import and spread of coffee in the Western world may be due to the Dutch. They were the ones who started alarge-scale
importation of coffee plantations and began Java, which at the time was colonized by the Dutch.
It was the same story when the plantation coffee arrived at the American colonies. The settlements didn't welcome alcohol in the
first instance. They found it didn't meet their expectations and was never intended to be a substitute for one of their favorite beverages,
anything with alcohol.
But over time, the Americans have started to love plantation coffee. By the 19th century, coffee was slowly becoming a selection
of drinks and by the end of it, they were clamoring for more.
And now, a rich cup of coffee is a staple drink not only in the United States but in almost every other country in the
world. So there it is, a brief history, where your rich cup of coffee came from. So sip and enjoy your rich cup of coffee slowly. It
took that rich cup of coffee centuries to reach your taste buds. The best solution is that cup enjoy to the fullest. Let us drink to
this.
