COFEEE
HISTORY
The word
"coffee" entered the English language in 1582 via the Dutch koffie,
borrowed from the Ottoman Turkish kahve, borrowed in turn from
the Arabic قهوة qahwah.
The Arabic word qahwah was traditionally held to refer to a type
of wine whose etymology is
given by Arab lexicographers as
deriving from the verb قَهِيَ qahiya,
"to lack hunger", in reference to the drink's reputation as an appetite suppressant. The term "coffee pot"
dates from 1705. The expression "coffee break"
was first attested in 1952.

According
to one legend, ancestors of today's Oromo people in
a region of Kaffa in Ethiopia were the first to recognize the energizing effect
of the coffee plant.However, no direct evidence that has been found earlier
than the 15th century indicating who among the African populations used it as a
stimulant, or where coffee was first cultivated. The story of Kaldi,
the 9th-century Ethiopian goatherd who discovered coffee when he noticed how excited his
goats became after eating the beans from
a coffee plant, did not appear in writing until 1671 and is probably apocryphal.

Another
legend attributes the discovery of coffee to a Sheikh Omar. According to an old
chronicle (preserved in the Abd-Al-Kadir manuscript), Omar, who was known for
his ability to cure the sick through prayer, was once exiled from Mocha in Yemen to
a desert cave near Ousab (modern-day Wusab, about 90 kilometres (56 mi)
east of Zabid).
Starving, Omar chewed berries from nearby shrubbery but found them to be too
bitter. He tried roasting the seeds to improve the flavor, but they
became hard. He then tried boiling them to soften the seed, which resulted in a fragrant brown
liquid. Upon drinking the liquid Omar was revitalized and sustained for days.
As stories of this "miracle drug" reached Mocha, Omar was asked to
return and was made a saint.
