History of the spread of coffee

 History of the spread of coffee 

The coffee beans are roasted and then ground and served. The process of brewing coffee itself was unknown when it first began. But the coffee plant came from the mountains of Ethiopia, which at that time was a wild plant in Ethiopia. Then, the coffee plant from here originated in the Arabian Peninsula around the 15th century, known as Arabica coffee. Arabica coffee is the most produced type of coffee in the world, accounting for more than 60% of global coffee production.

 

According to legend, coffee was discovered by a young Arab named Kaldi, who was raising goats. He always noticed that his goats always showed signs of happiness after chewing the seeds and leaves of certain green plants. Out of curiosity, he tried the fruit of the tree and felt uplifting and joyful. Finally, this discovery spread by word of mouth, since coffee was born as a legend in Arabia.

 

In 1610, the first coffee tree was planted in India. The Dutch began to study coffee in 1614. Then in 1616, they managed to get edible coffee beans and plants and established coffee farms directly in Sri Lanka and Java (Indonesia) in 1699. From the Dutch, this plant spread to the Dutch regions of Central America such as Suriname and the Caribbean islands. Then, the French were also interested in this coffee market. They bought coffee beans from the Netherlands and produced them on the island of Reunion, east of Madagascar. But they failed to grow coffee here. Then in 1723, the French tried to create coffee in the area of ​​the island of Martinique. In the 1800s, coffee beans were developed in Hawaii. Later, this company was also built in Brazil and other regions.

 

Coffee from the past to the present 

Originally, coffee was used as a food. Then coffee is used instead of alcohol. Later, coffee was also used as medicine. And now, coffee is known as a popular drink.

 

In the beginning, coffee was used as food. All coffee beans are ground, then oil is added. Then, this dough takes round shape and becomes food. Until now, some tribes in Africa still eat coffee in this way.

 

Later, wine was replaced with coffee. Coffee beans are made into a drink like wine. Some people drink this drink by pouring flavored water over dried coffee beans. As a medicine, coffee can help treat migraines, headaches, heart problems, chronic asthma, and gastrointestinal problems. However, drinking too much coffee can be harmful. If you drink too much coffee, it can increase stomach acid, make you nervous and make your heart beat faster. In addition, excessive coffee consumption is often associated with stomach ulcers. Later, coffee was used as a sweet drink. The coffee beans are then roasted and ground into cans. The result can be a delicious coffee drink. Later, the coffee grinder was invented which made coffee production as a drink.
