origin

The source of coffee is hard to find. In many legends, coffee originated in the plateau area of Kafa province in southwest Ethiopia. It is said that a shepherd found that the sheep became very excited and lively after eating a plant, so he found coffee. It is also said that a wildfire destroyed a coffee forest, and the smell of barbecue coffee attracted the attention of the surrounding residents. At first, people chewed the fruit of this plant to refresh themselves. Later, they roasted and ground it and mixed it with flour to make bread, which was used as food for soldiers to improve their courage in fighting.

It was not until around 1000 that people began to use brewed coffee as a drink. /kloc-In the 3rd century, Ethiopian troops invaded Yemen and brought coffee to the world. Because the * * * doctrine forbids believers to drink alcohol, some religious people think that this kind of wine is neurotic and contrary to the doctrine. There was a time when coffee shops were banned and closed, but the Sultan of Egypt thought that coffee did not violate the teachings and ordered it to be banned. Coffee drinks soon became popular in * * * areas. The word coffee comes from Qahwa, which means "plant drink", and later spread to Turkey and became Kahve, which became the source of the word in European languages. The cultivation and production methods of coffee are constantly being improved and gradually improved.

A cafe in Palestine

1570, the Turkish army besieged Vienna and failed to retreat. Someone found a bag of black seeds in the barracks of the Turkish army, and no one knew what it was. A Polish man who once lived in Turkey took this bag of coffee and opened his first coffee shop in Vienna. /kloc-At the end of 0/6, coffee was introduced to Europe on a large scale through Italy in the name of "* * * wine".

/kloc-in the 0/7th century, the elites in Europe began to drink coffee, but the cultivation and production of coffee have been monopolized by people of * * *, which is very valuable in Europe. Until 1690, a Dutch captain sailed to Yemen, got several coffee seedlings and began to plant them successfully in Dutch India (now Indonesia). 17 16, the first coffee shop opened in Venice. 1727, the wife of a diplomat in Guyana, the Netherlands (now Suriname) gave some coffee seeds to a Spaniard in Brazil. He tried planting in Brazil and achieved good results. Brazil's climate is very suitable for coffee growth, and coffee has spread rapidly in South America since then. The price of coffee fell due to mass production and began to become an important beverage for Europeans. By 1763, there are 2 18 coffee shops in Venice.

At first, some Catholic religious people thought it was a "devil's drink" and urged Pope Clemens VIII at that time to ban it, but the Pope thought it was drinkable after tasting it, so coffee spread rapidly in Europe and gradually spread all over the world in the 20th century, becoming an important drink. The earliest hometown of coffee is far away in the European continent, and its origin is confusing.

If we trace back to the world-famous coffee shops in Austria, France, Italy and other places in modern times, we can trace back to the history that it first entered Europe by land in the Balkans and by sea in the Atlantic Ocean. These two "coffee roads" separated by thousands of miles lead to the starting point of an "East": Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire in Turkey.

However, the Turks who conquered West Asia and Egypt in 1505 are considered to be the earliest people who loved coffee in the world, but their exploration and business trips made the coffee grown on the peninsula of * * * transcend the ancient boundaries and become a high-grade beverage popular in the whole Middle East and the Mediterranean. But neither here nor the peninsula is the original birthplace of coffee, and the real prologue of the story began in the tropical coast of East Africa before the rise of Otto Empire.

The earliest rumor about coffee originated in the middle of13rd century, and each culture has its own version of the legend about the origin of coffee.

There is an anecdote circulating in * * *: Orr, a famous religious figure, was framed and exiled to the deserted Gobi desert. The climate there is so hot that unknown plants can be eaten. Extremely hungry, Allsman could only pick a kind of red fruit that he had never seen before in the bushes among rocks and cook it to satisfy his hunger. I didn't expect this fragrant and bitter wild fruit soup to wake him and his dying companions. Some lepers exiled to barren hills gathered from afar and drank his black soup, which miraculously relieved their pain and gradually recovered.

When the news spread, it broke ground, and religious people regarded it as the sacred manifestation of Allah. The monarch caliph, who has political and religious power, also has to condescend. He respectfully invited innocent Allsman back to his hometown and presented a palace in recognition of his feat of discovering the sacred tree. According to legend, the plant planted from this is the coffee tree that people are familiar with later. This is just one of many local coffee legends. Some rumors even describe the founder of * * * as the first person to drink coffee in history.

In European legend, its discovery is attributed to the earliest missionaries who went to Yemen to establish monasteries. They found their livestock very excited, jumped all night, followed the grazing route and searched carefully, only to accidentally find this magical * * * plant on the side of the road.

Legend has it that coffee, which is popular all over the world, has a "blank" in its history of origin. The exciting and refreshing magic of coffee has covered it with a mysterious primitive veil from the beginning, and historians know little about its cradle period. Strictly speaking, the understanding of coffee in the west began after16th century.

Compared with the oriental tea culture that has been followed for thousands of years, coffee culture has a short history and a vague life experience, although its position in the development of western civilization far exceeds that of any other popular beverage. It is precisely for this reason that the early western historical and religious studies that believed in Eurocentrism tried to trace their history back to ancient Rome and denied his [blood series]. They made textual research on ((Bible)) and Gu Xi's story, and came to the conclusion that the history of coffee in ((Homer's epic)), in which the beauty Helena seduced the hero, has been pushed forward for almost two thousand years and naturally belongs to a part of ancient European civilization.

Today, the origin of coffee has been recognized by experts as a high-heat mountain area in Ethiopia, East Africa, which may be a little strange to ordinary people who have long heard of the reputation of Latin America since colonial times. However, Kaffa, an ancient place name preserved on the Red Sea coast, reminds people of its authentic status as the birthplace of coffee. On the plateau near the equator, between the lake and the steep cliff, there used to be a century-old forest covered with red fruits-wild coffee tree. Due to the lack of historical materials, it is difficult for people to explain why local aborigines always stay away from this mysterious plant and keep their distance. In the oldest records that can be found, coffee also appears as medicine and even drugs. No one knows when and who this coffee tree first crossed the Strait to the * * * Peninsula across the sea, where it was planted and sold and became a popular daily drink. Maybe it's a perfumer who travels around the world, maybe it's a Syrian drug dealer wandering around the world, maybe it's a sailor ...? Anyway, one thing is certain, coffee has left its lonely plateau for the vast world, and it also affects the fate of this world in a certain sense, so it is certain. , Paris coffee/16
