History of Cofee

Coffee was likely first discovered in Ethiopia; the legend is that a goat herdsman called Kaldi found that his animals were jumping around and being looking better to a greater extent of energy than usual after consuming some berries from a near by bush, he decided to take some of the yield himself and found that they given his tired eyes and gave him renewed energy.

News of this then started to spread like a fire throughout the region and at last came to the notice of monastics who dried the attics for transportation to far monasteries. They then restructured them with water supply, ate the fruit and drank the fluid probably to help alleviate fatigue during entreaties. Coffee was then shipped from Ethiopia to what is now called Yemen and from there to Turkey; where they were first baked over an open fire, crushed and boiled to make a crude but very effective version of what we drink today.

According to the records it was first the Venetian dealers who took coffee to Europe in any measure the first shipment being to Venice in 1615.The first coffee house in book was surprisingly enough opened in Oxford in 1650. This new drink came under harsh critique from the Catholic Church with some priests seeking to ban coffee calling it a drink of the Devil.Thus how Coffee got the popularity and was attracted by other merchants and they further spread to all parts of the world.
