Savoring the Odyssey of Coffee: Tracing the Bean's Path from Ethiopian Forests through the Roasting Process to Your Favorite Global Cafés

The Journey to Arabia and Beyond

From Ethiopia, coffee made its way across the Red Sea to the Arabian Peninsula. Here, in the 15th century, the beans were first roasted and brewed in a manner similar to the process we use today. The drink quickly gained popularity and became an essential part of Arabian culture.

By the 17th century, coffee had made its way to Europe, where it was initially met with suspicion but soon embraced. Coffee houses began to spring up across the continent, serving as hubs for intellectual discussion and social interaction. These cafés played a significant role in shaping modern European society and culture.
