Coffee ☕

The history of coffee dates back to centuries of old oral tradition in modern-day Somalia, Ethiopia and Yemen.
It was already known in Mecca in the 15th century. Also, in the 15th century, Sufi monasteries in Yemen employed coffee as an aid to concentration during prayers.
Coffee later spread to the Levant in the early 16th century.
It arrived in Italy the second half of the 16th century through commercial Mediterranean trade routes, while Central and Eastern Europeans learned of coffee from the Ottomans. By the mid 17th century, it had reached India and the East Indies.
Coffee houses were established in Western Europe by the late 17th century, especially in Holland, England, and Germany.
