The Wolrd History Coffee
For a long time, coffee is a drink of elegant human pleasures. It is the source of connection between people, opening up the conversation, the unforgettable stories. Coffee is the source of the story, so have you ever wondered where the coffee came from? And what is it history ? Let go back to the past with Han to find out.it.
Coffee Tree Legend
There is an interesting legend about coffee plants. A shepherd named Kaldi, while taking the lintel to eat, he accidentally saw a red fruit and ate it. After that Kaldi spirit became extremely outgoing and energetic. He went to tell the monks there. At first they thought it was the forbidden fruit that brought the devil to them and decided to burn the seed.
However that is just a legend. In fact, the coffee tree originated in Ethiopia (formerly known as Kaffa). It was the slaves captured from Ethiopia to go to Egypt that brought the fruit with them. After that, they quickly became the most popular drink in Egypt. In the country of the pyramid, coffee civilization began to be rekindled and this is the capital, the center for coffee trading with the world at the port of Mocha (or Moka).
The coffee tree is believed to have originated from the remote country of Ethiopia.
By the 18th century, the Dutch first brought coffee outside of Egypt and planted it in Martinique. Then the French and Brazil also brought this fruit to their homeland. That is the basis for the coffee beans to spread and are grown all over the earth.
History and development of coffee in Ethiopia
It is believed that Ethiopia's Kaffa province is a land of coffee tree origin. From the 9th century people have mentioned this plant here. In the 14th century slave traders brought coffee from Ethiopia to the Arab region. But it was not until the middle of the 15th century that it was known to roast coffee beans and use it as a beverage. The Arab region is the exclusive coffee growing region. The center of the coffee trade is the port city of Mocha, or also known as Mokka, which means Al Mukha city in present day Yemen.
The traditional way of brewing coffee in Ethiopia is probably the oldest form. The beans are put into a large iron pan and roasted, then crushed or brought to a mortar. The shredded grain is mixed with sugar in a jar called jebena (a kind of neck that has a handle), cooked and poured into a bowl.
Occurrence in the Arabian peninsula
Coffee appeared in arabic
The Arabs were the first to not only grow coffee, but also turn coffee beans into a commercial commodity. Until the 15th century, coffee was most grown in Yemen in Arab, and just after a century it spread to Persia, Egypt, Syria and Turkey.
Coffee at that time was not only a drink at home but also popular in the Near East restaurants, it appeared mostly in social activities. Not only use coffee to drink while talking, enjoying art, playing chess but also an important drink in political meetings.
With thousands of pilgrims visiting Mecca each year from all parts of the world, the name of the beverage with the ability to indulge the mind is spreading more and more. Coffee is so popular that they call it "the wine of the Arabs" and Arab has worked hard to maintain the monopoly of the coffee business by strictly controlling and regulating the country's annual output. .
The appearance of Coffee in America
The history of American coffee
In the 1600s, the cafe was brought to New Amsterdam - famous New York City later. Here, although coffee was quickly used and the emergence of many coffee shops gradually expanded, tea was still the most popular drink until 1773, after a period of time. the fight against the hefty lease on tea by King George. Now, coffee is gradually becoming the most popular drink in America.
Coffee spread around the world
As demand for the drink continued to spread, there was intense competition to grow coffee outside of the Arabs. Although the Arabs tried to maintain their reading rights, the Dutch eventually succeeded, in the second half of the 17th century, to obtain some seedlings.
Their first attempts to grow coffee in India failed but they were more successful trying to grow in Batavia, on the island of Java in present-day Indonesia. The coffee tree thrived and soon the Dutch brought it to its production and commercial development. They soon expanded the planting of coffee trees on the islands of Sumatra and Celebes.
The Dutch did cause curiosity, however. In 1714, the mayor of Amsterdam gave a gift of a coffee seedling to King Louis XIV of France. The king ordered the seedling to be planted in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Paris. In 1723, a young naval officer, Gabriel de Clieu received a seedling from the king's seedling.
Although the trip was difficult - with terrible weather, a vandal tried to destroy the seedling and raid it - the officer safely transported it to Martinique. Once planted, the seedling has thrived and is believed to have grown to over 18 million coffee trees on Martinique Island over the next 50 years. It is also a reserve from which it originated for coffee growing throughout the Caribbean, South and Central America.
