History of Coffee
Coffee is not today’s fancy drink; it was invented around the 15th century. Today, it’s one of the most popular drinks worldwide. It is believed that a legend, Kaldi, discovered coffee plants after seeing his flock become energetic after chewing on a plant. From there, a monk discovered coffee as a source of energy and inspiration.
On the other hand, Ethiopia is considered the place of origin of coffee. The word coffee derives from the word “Kaffa”, which was a primary coffee-producing plant in Abyssinia (Modern Ethiopia). From Ethiopia, people brought coffee to other countries like Yemen, where Yemenis began to cultivate coffee beans systematically.

Types of Coffee
Coffee goes through several stages before the final coffee is made. We just see the last stage of coffee as ground coffee, but there are different types of coffee beans, which are selected from coffee plants, more like red cherries; they are dried and then roasted.
There are four main types of coffee beans we consume. These are Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa. The most consumed and used coffee bean is Arabica, which accounts for almost 60-70% of global production. It has a sweet, smooth taste like fruit and chocolate. Robusta has a stronger and more bitter taste than Arabica. It contains more caffeine. Liberica has a more woody and smoky flavour. Excelsa is rare, with a tart and fruity flavour.
