Coffee Info
Coffee is indigenous to Kaffa (coffee) region of Ethiopia. Coffee was taken to Yeman by the Arabs and cultivated there in the sixth century. The original coffee received its name from the Arabian port of Al Mukkah (Mocca) on the Red Sea. The port became world famous because it was the sole source for the world's coffee. With the opening of the Suez Canal the port was by-passed for Aden at the tip of the Arabian Peninsula.
According to legend, coffee was discovered by an Arab goat herder named Kaidi. He noticed that his goats became frisky after chewing on berries from certain wild bushes.
