The origin of Arabic coffee

The original origin of coffee is unknown, but there are related legends. In the 9th century, the Ethiopian shepherd Galdi found that the sheep became very excited and lively after eating coffee berries. The shepherd also chewed the coffee berries and then brought the coffee berries to the monks in the nearby monastery; but the monks were reluctant to eat the berries at first and threw them into the fire. The aroma of the roasted coffee berries attracted the monks to come and check. The monks fished out the coffee beans from the embers, ground them and dissolved them in hot water, thus making the world's first cup of coffee.

After the rise of the Arab Empire in the early seventh century, it monopolized the sea trade route from the Mediterranean to India, causing the Aksumite Kingdom in Ethiopia to gradually decline, so it is enough to confirm that coffee was spread from Ethiopia to Yemen.

After coffee spread to the Muslim world, Islamic medicine recognized the advantages of coffee, believing that it can boost spirits and prevent the temptation of alcohol and marijuana to Muslims.
