Short History of Coffee & Its Ethiopian Origin
Coffee originated in Ethiopia, where legend says a goat herder named Kaldi discovered it after seeing his goats energized by eating red berries. He tried them himself and felt awake and alert.
The plant, Coffea arabica, grows wild in Ethiopia’s forests, especially in Kaffa, Bonga, and Sidama. The name "coffee" is believed to come from Kaffa.
Coffee spread from Ethiopia to Yemen in the 15th century, where it was used in Sufi prayers. From there, it reached the Middle East, Europe, and the rest of the world.
Ethiopia still grows some of the world’s best coffee, like Yirgacheffe, Sidama, and Harrar. The traditional coffee ceremony is an important part of Ethiopian culture, showing hospitality and community.
