The history of coffee has been documented as early as the tenth century AD when its use was restricted mainly to Ethiopia’s native beans. Here highlanders first farmed the coffee plant.
However, the Arabs saw the trading potential and sold the beans to northern Africa, where mass cultivation occurred. Early 14th Century explorers, upon witnessing coffee drinking in the near east, labeled it as a drug, reporting the many medicinal benefits from consumption in the morning.
From there, the beans entered the European and Indian markets in the 17th Century, where the popularity of the coffee became widespread, as the “wine of Arabia.”
