Where does coffee actually come from?

Originally, coffee was discovered in Ethiopia, after which it spread throughout the Middle East. There are stories about a farmer from the mountainous country of Ethiopia who saw his goats jumping around full of energy after eating coffee berries. Another story tells of monks who disappointedly threw the rather bitter-tasting beans into the fire, only to be surprised by the delicious aroma released. So the idea of making an extract from the roasted beans was born, and this turned out not to be too difficult a task. However, some time passed before people actually started drinking coffee.

It is widely believed that the Arabs were the first to grow coffee plants. Traders saw the potential and soon coffee conquered most Islamic countries, despite secrecy and an export ban. The Netherlands also played a role in spreading coffee plants through Java in Indonesia, then a colony of the Netherlands. Eventually, France became a major coffee producer in Europe around 1715. Colonists and missionaries spread this uplifting drink to the rest of the world. Drinking coffee became more popular than consuming alcoholic beverages.

The differences between Arabica and Robusta coffee

Arabica is a common coffee variety known for its superior quality and flavour. The Arabica coffee beans is considered the most refined and flavourful bean among coffee varieties. Coffee made from Arabica beans typically has a milder and smoother flavour than coffee made from Robust beans.

The Arabica plant thrives best in higher elevations with a temperate climate and fertile soil. These conditions help develop the complex flavours and aromas that Arabica is known for. Moreover, Arabica coffee beans contain less caffeine than Robusta coffee, making it a popular choice for people sensitive to the stimulating effects of caffeine.
