The history of coffee

The origin of coffee as a drink or a plant dates back to the middle of the 15th century in the Sufi
Muslim monasteries around Mocha in Yemen. It was in Arabia that coffee seeds were first
roasted and brewed, in a similar way to how it is now prepared. By the 16th century, it had
reached the rest of the Middle East, Persia, Turkey, and northern Africa.

The first coffee smuggled out of the Middle East was by Sufi Baba Budan from Yemen to India
in 1670. Before then, all exported coffee was boiled or otherwise sterilized. Portraits of Baba
Budan depict him as having smuggled seven coffee seeds by strapping them to his chest. The
first plants grown from these smuggled seeds were planted in Mysore, in the state of Karnataka,
India. Coffee then spread to Italy, and to the rest of Europe, to Indonesia, and to the Americas.

When coffee reached North America during the Colonial period, it was initially not as successful
as it had been in Europe as alcoholic beverages remained more popular. During the
Revolutionary War, the demand for coffee increased so much that dealers had to hoard their
scarce supplies and raise prices dramatically.

Coffee was introduced to Brazil in 1727, although its cultivation did not gather momentum until
independence in 1822. After this time massive tracts of rainforest were cleared for coffee
plantations, first in the vicinity of Rio de Janeiro and later São Paulo.
