The history of coffee goes at least as far back as the thirteenth
century with a number of myths surrounding its first use. The original
native population of coffee is thought to have come from East Africa
specifically to Ethiopia, and it was first cultivated by Arabs from the
14th century. The earliest credible evidence of either coffee drinking
or knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the 15th
century, in the Sufi monasteries of Yemen. By the 16th century, it had
reached the rest of the Middle East, Persia, Turkey and northern Africa.
Coffee then spread to the Balkans, Italy and to the rest of Europe, to
Indonesia and then to the Americas.
