Our coffee selection on shelf |
For Westerners coffee is three hundred years old, but in the East
it was widespread as a beverage, in every level of society, since earlier
times. The first definite dates go back to 800 b.C.; but already Homer,
and many Arabian legends, tell the story of a mysterious black and bitter
beverage with powers of stimulation. In the year 1000 about, Avicenna was
administering coffee as a medicine. And there is a strange story, dating
from 1400, of a Yemeni shepherd who, having observed some goats cropping
reddish berries from a bush, and subsequently becoming restless and excited,
reported the incident to a monk. The latter boiled the berries, and then
distilled a bitter beverage, rich in strength, and capable of dispersing
sleep and weariness.
However the discovery occurred, the fact remains that the coffee plant
was born in Africa in an Ethiopian region (Kaffa). From there it spread
to Yemen, Arabia and Egypt, where it developed enormously, and entered
popular daily life.
