History Of Coffee
History:
Coffee is
one of the most commonly drunk beverages all over the word. Additionally, it is
interesting to note that coffee can be extremely addictive if consumed on a
daily basis.
The
Yemenite, Sufi mystic Ghothul Akbar Nooruddin, on his travel to Ethiopia
observed that certain birds were revitalized after taking certain fruits that
appeared to grow in bushes. He decided to experiment to evaluate whether he
will have exhibit the same characteristics as the birds. To his surprise, he
was revitalized. He introduced these fruits to his people leading to the
massive growth of coffee.
By fifteenth
century, the Arabs were first to cultivate coffee and begin its trade. Coffee
was grown in Yemeni district in Arabia and its popularity continued to grow
gradually. Being a Muslim country where alcohol is forbidden coffee’s
energizing property made it an excellent substitute. The first coffee houses or
kaveh kanes as were popularly known started in Mecca and soon spread in Arab
(Wild, 2005). People would meet in these coffee houses for social gatherings.
It is not
clear when the first coffee shop was opened. However, it is presumed that it
was first opened in the fifteenth century but the Imams of Arabia banned them.
In Europe, the first coffee shop was opened in the seventeenth century in the
Kingdom of Hungary. It opened because of leaders seeing it as an opportunity to
have conversations. In America, the first coffee was opened in the seventeenth
century but years after it was first introduced in Europe.
