Description
Including photographs of blooming coffee trees, this 1894 volume provides an extensive history on coffee. Legend has it that around the ninth century, a young shepherd noticed that one of his goats would stay up all night after eating cherries from the coffee plant. Curious, the shepherd tried it for himself and soon, coffee was born. By the 15th century, farmers of the Arabian Peninsula were growing and trading coffee with nearby nations like Persia, Egypt, Syria and Turkey. One of the biggest contributing factors to the beverage's rise in popularity was the spread of Islam. Because the religion did not permit believers to drink alcohol, coffee was found to be a pleasant and perfectly acceptable alternative.
