Where do you think coffee is originated?

By: Cicely K. Leblanc

The story of coffee has its early period in Ethiopia, the original home of the coffee plant, coffee arabica, which still grows wild in the forest of the highlands. Though nobody is sure exactly how coffee was originally discovered as a beverage, it is assumed that its cultivation and use commenced as early as the 9th century. Some authorities argue that it was cultivated in the Yemen previously, around AD 575. The only thing that looks like positive is that it originated in Ethiopia, from where it traveled to the Yemen about six hundred years ago, and from Arabia it began its journey around the world.

Among the many traditions that have developed concerning the origin of coffee, one of the most popular explanation is that of Kaldi, an Abyssinian goatherd, who was reported to have discovered the goats eating berries and then having a lot more energy, and then he tried some of the berries and the same thing happened to him, his energy levels went sky high. The berries were free growing in the high lands of Ethiopia & hence we then had one of the first coffees. The visiting Arabians took some of the plants to their land to check if they could cultivate them after that we had the famous Arabica coffee beans.
