1. Overview
Coffee is a world famous beverage and it is widely drunk in almost every part of the world. The seeds from which this drink is made are actually seeds of the fruit borne by the coffee plant and are called ‘beans’ in trading terms. These coffee beans stand at the 3rd place in the list of legally traded products in the world and are considered to be a very important commodity in terms of trading.
1.1 Coffee history:
According to a coffee history legend, an Arabian shepherd named Kaldi found his goats dancing joyously around a dark green leafed shrub with bright red cherries in the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Kaldi soon determined that it was the bright red cherries on the shrub that were causing the peculiar euphoria and after trying the cherries himself, he learned of their powerful effect. The stimulating effect was then exploited by monks at a local monastery to stay awake during extended hours of prayer and distributed to other monasteries around the world. Coffee was born. After year 1600, it started reaching the nearby countries like India through smuggling practices. The Turks first adopted coffee as a drink. This is how coffee was popularized as a drink in the rest of the world and people started planting coffee as a crop.
Despite the appeal of such a legend, recent botanical evidence suggests a different coffee bean origin. This evidence indicates that the history of the coffee bean began on the plateaus of central Ethiopia and somehow must have been brought to Yemen where it was cultivated since the 6th century.
What is however true that coffee is gained its widespread popularity in Yemen where it was grown and brewed from the fifteenth century onwards but who was the person who first introduced coffee to the Yemen after discovering it in Ethiopia? The most popular theory is that it was a Sufi grand
