A Brief Introduction of Coffee
As per ancient history, it is said that the energizing effect of coffee was identified by the ancestors of today’s Oromo people. But there is no concrete fact about its growth in any part. But the credible sources are considered to be about the Sufi Muslim monasteries around Mocha, Yemen during the 15th century. It spread to Persia, Turkey, and Northern Africa by the beginning of the 16th century.
The seeds were taken to Yemen from Ethiopia. It reached India from Yemen in 1670. In 1583, a German physician, Leonhard Rauwolf, described coffee after he returned from a ten year long from the Near East as:
“A beverage as black as ink, useful against numerous illnesses, particularly those of the stomach. Its consumers take it in the morning, quite frankly, in a porcelain cup that is passed around and from which each one drinks a cupful. It is composed of water and the fruit from a bush called bunnu.”
- Leonard Rauwolf, Reise in die Morgenhaander (in German)
