A History of Coffee
Coffee's history dates back to the 15th century, with its roots in Ethiopia. Legend has it that a goat herder named Kaldi discovered the energizing effect of coffee beans after noticing his goats becoming lively after eating them.
Coffee cultivation spread rapidly in the Arabian Peninsula, leading to the establishment of coffee houses in major cities across the Middle East by the 16th century. By the 17th century, coffee had made its way to Europe, becoming a popular beverage.
Today, coffee is more than just a morning ritual. It has evolved into a diverse cultural phenomenon, with coffee shops playing a key role in social dynamics across the globe. The rise of artisanal coffee shops and the third wave coffee movement highlight its ongoing evolution.
Each cup of coffee tells a unique story of its origin and craftsmanship.
