The history of the discovery and origin of coffee
There are many differences of opinion on how coffee was discovered, but most people believe that coffee was discovered in the 11th century by a shepherd in Ethiopia. When that shepherd saw that his sheep got extra energy by eating the leaves of a certain tree, he investigated this tree. The tribesmen of that shepherd gathered the fruits of the tree and used its extract in their food and noticed its effect on increasing their alertness, and after several years, coffee was used as the first drink, and it is still the same way. It means that it is used as a drink, of course, it is also used in the food industry and baking.
At first, coffee was served to kings and aristocrats in countries like Iran and Turkey, and gradually coffee houses were opened and ordinary people also used it.
What are the types of coffee?
Coffee is classified into four types: Excelsa, Liberica, Arabica and Robusta, and the first two types make up 1.0% of the world's coffee. But the two types of Arabica and Robusta that are used more have differences and similarities with each other. The price of Arabica and Robusta coffee is also higher than the first two types. Brazil is the largest producer of Arabica and Vietnam is the largest producer of Robusta.
Arabica coffee is more popular among people but more expensive and the reason is the popularity of Arabica coffee.
