Reading
Passage: The History of Coffee
Coffee is one of the world’s most
popular beverages. Its origin can be traced back centuries to ancient Ethiopia,
where legend has it that a goat herder named Kaldi discovered the energizing
effects of coffee beans after noticing his goats becoming unusually active upon
eating berries from a certain tree. Word of this energy-boosting berry spread
quickly, and by the 15th century, coffee was being cultivated in Yemen.
Coffee houses, known as qahveh
khaneh, began to appear across the Middle East. These venues soon became social
hubs for intellectual discussions, music, and chess. In the 17th century,
coffee spread to Europe, where it was initially met with suspicion. However,
its popularity grew rapidly, and by the 18th century, coffee had become a
global commodity.
The drink played a significant role
in many cultural and economic revolutions. In England, coffee houses were
dubbed "penny universities" because for the price of a penny, one
could purchase a cup of coffee and engage in stimulating conversation. Similarly,
the coffee culture of France helped fuel the ideas behind the French
Revolution. In the Americas, coffee replaced tea as the preferred drink after
the Boston Tea Party, becoming an important symbol of independence.
Today, coffee is cultivated in over
70 countries, with Brazil, Vietnam, and Colombia being the top producers. The
industry employs millions of people worldwide, and innovations in brewing
techniques and flavors continue to drive its global appeal.
