Coffee
Coffee is a widely consumed
beverage prepared from roasted
seeds, commonly called
beans, of the
coffee plant. Coffee was first consumed in the 9th century, when it was discovered in the highlands of
Ethiopia. From there, it spread to
Egypt and
Yemen, and by the 15th century had reached Persia,
Turkey, and northern
Africa. From the Muslim world, coffee spread to
Italy, then to the rest of
Europe and the Americas. Today, coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide.
