European historians argue that, as early as 800 years, when southern Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula had been made for trade in cultivated coffee trees, and also there are historical facts show that in that era, between Yemen and Ethiopia, and indeed have crossed the Red Sea to trade. Based on speculation that if the use of coffee by the Ethiopians found, then the coffee is imported during this period the Arabian Peninsula, and widely grown in Yemen. Even so, in the Arabian Peninsula are still circulating this myth: “There was a group of large bird, mouth ripe coffee fruit over the Red Sea, and dropped them in Yemen, so that coffee began to grow up in Yemen.”

Wucongkaozheng myth, but there has been no historical facts can prove that coffee reached the Arabian peninsula, the exact time and reason, but one thing is certain, that is, 525 years of the invasion of Ethiopia was indeed the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, and the rule of Yemen over the past half century . Therefore, people tend to believe that coffee is imported during this period, the Arabian Peninsula. After that very long centuries, coffee has been in the Arabian Peninsula as Muslims revive and refresh, to add energy to, or treatment of diseases, with special curative medicine to drink at the same time, it is the methods of making coffee even better. By around the 15th century, coffee was as a popular beverage in the widely disseminated among ordinary people. The 16 end of the century when, in many European travelers in the oral tradition with the Arabs to drink “by the black seed boiled black molasses,” the story. This can be confirmed when the Arabs already know how to bake and cook coffee.

Coffee in the south of the Arabian Peninsula to become popular favorite drink after being to the holy pilgrimage to Mecca, Muslims are back home, began to spread rapidly in the Arab States, and landed in Turkey and Persia, and popular. Coffee has been widely accepted by the public will inevitably lead to the birth of a cafe, coffee shop is the legend of the first produced on religious grounds, but quickly evolved into one painting and chat sites, this tradition still maintained.

As the world’s first born in a coffee shop in the end where there are two main arguments: First, that the birth of the 15th century in the Turkish capital Constantinople (today Istanbul), legendary bridge that is produced here in the coffee museum; First, said the early 16th century, was born in the Islamic holy places.
However, no matter where it was born, its significance far beyond those to provide people a place to drink coffee and chat so simple. As the historian Ucros the most authoritative book in his “coffee and world affairs” in writing it: “Whenever the introduction of coffee, it will contribute to the revolution. Coffee is the most extreme human drinks, caffeine will stimulate thinking, the people once ponder wanted to rebel, and endangered the status of a tyrant. ”

His famous words were first proof is in the holy city of Mecca. People gathered in Mecca cafes open discussion current affairs, ironically, those in power, some satire spread to Mecca at that time the ears of the young Governor of Berg, his fury ordered the closure of Mecca in 1511 all of the coffee shop. The rulers of Mecca is not the only people who hate coffee, a cafe in Turkey have been ordered to shut down at the same time, coffee was made illegal drink, because drinking coffee in order to prevent the public through the occasion of reactionary remarks. The violation of laws and regulations Tou He found a coffee person must have been caning, repeat offenders will be sewn into the leather stitched bag, thrown into the Bosporus Strait (today’s Istanbul Strait).

However, oppression and resistance are a pair of twins, the Government’s ban can not eliminate people’s love of coffee, many people are willing to risk their lives to drink coffee on the coffee ban the ultimate sham.

Coffee found to have a variety of legends, one of which is based in Rome a linguist Luo Shide. Nailuo Yi (1613-1707) records: approximately the sixth century AD, there are places on a particular day on behalf of the Arab shepherds Karl to Yisuobiya grasslands grazing sheep when they saw each goat are obviously extremely excited, jumping for joy, He felt very strange, then carefully observed, these sheep are eating some kind of red fruit only excited, Carl curious to try and found that the sweet taste of these fruits often after eating she also feels that the spirit is very straightforward, from he would often catch a flock of sheep to eat with such a delicious fruit. Later, a Muslim through here, then this incredible red fruit Shunshou Qiang Zhai some fruit to take home and points to its Xie faithful to eat, so its effectiveness would be so amazing circulating come.

Other legend is on the Arabian peninsula (ie, North Yemen), the guardian of saints snow grams. The first snow of the disciple of Karl grams. Omar was very much in the Mocha respect and affection the people of the chiefs, but crime has been expelled Serbs. Snow grams. Omar thus be exiled to the country’s Russian-Sam, where accidentally discovered the coffee fruit, which is a matter in 1258. Day, Omar hungry walking in the mountain forests, see the branches on the exotic bird feathers parked in the pecking the fruit of the tree issued after a very sweet voice sing a mellowed. He brought back to this fruit and add water boiling down, but he unexpectedly went so far as to issue strong seductive scent, drink after the original feeling of fatigue also will be eliminated and full vitality. Omar will be collecting many of these miraculous fruits meet someone sick, it will give them fruit juice drink made to restore the spirit. Because of his four charity by the believers love, and soon his sins to be pardoned and return to Mocha, he found that the fruit be a result of the praise, people worship him as a saint but. At that time, the magic cure medicine is said that coffee.

In addition to the more commonly talked about two kinds of legends, coffee when it has become people’s lives in the beverage, when the time has not really test. But according to Arab classical record presented, the eleventh century AD, Islamic precepts prohibit Christians who drink, then prevalent in the Arab region will be sun-dried coffee beans into boiling soup, use as a stomach. Christians have found that coffee, juice has a refreshing effect, we use it as an alternative to the uplifting nature of alcoholic beverages, and to Muslim holy sites of Mecca as the center, between the followers of this drink spread through the opening and spread to Egypt by the Arab, and then spread to Syria, Iran, Turkey and other places. To the 13 century, the Arabs have to understand raw coffee beans, dried, to be baked, mashed with the Usuki again after water boiling down, and thus to be more pure quality of coffee.

As for stores selling coffee industry legend originated from the Islamic holy “Mecca,” about the 17th century or so, coffee was through the trade routes, gradually swept Italy, India, the United Kingdom and other places around 1650, Oxford, England first appeared in Western Europe an all day coffee shop was filled with the smell of coffee …
