2. Coffee history

With the first coffee bean being picked, roasted, ground and brewed, and the aroma of the first cup of hot coffee drifting away, the legend about coffee cultivation and coffee culture spread has become one of the greatest and most romantic stories in history on our small planet.

There are various legends about the origin of coffee, but most of them are forgotten because of their absurdity. However, people will never forget that Africa is the hometown of coffee. This coffee tree may have been found in Kafa, Ethiopia. Later, batches of slaves were sold from Africa to Yemen and Arabia, and coffee was taken to various places along the way. To be sure, Yemen began to grow coffee in the15th century or earlier. Although Arabia had Mocha, the most prosperous port city in the world at that time, it was forbidden to export any seeds! This obstacle was finally broken by the Dutch. 16 16 years, they finally smuggled the surviving coffee trees and seeds to the Netherlands and began to cultivate them in greenhouses.

Although Arabs prohibit the export of coffee seeds, they are indeed very open at home. The first coffee shops called "Kavan Kahn" opened in Mecca. For the first time in human history, there is such a place. Anyone who has paid for a cup of coffee can go in and sit in a comfortable environment to talk about business and dating.

Coffee enters Asia

The Arabs failed to spread coffee in Asia, but the Dutch did! In the process of foreign colonization, they planted coffee in Malaba, India, and brought coffee to Batavia, Java, Indonesia in 1699. Dutch colonies once became the main supplier of coffee in Europe. At present, Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee exporter in the world.

Coffee enters Europe Venetian merchants first brought coffee to Europe in 16 15. By 1683, the first coffee shop in Europe opened in Venice, and the most famous one was Cafe Florence. 1720 opened in St. Kyle's Square, and the business is still booming. It is worth mentioning that Lloyd's of London, the largest insurance company in the world, started from a coffee shop.

Coffee entered the United States from 65438 to 0668. As a fashionable drink, coffee became popular in South America, and then cafes appeared in new york, Philadelphia, Boston and other North American cities. 1773 The Boston Tea Party was planned in a coffee shop called Green Dragon. Today, the famous Wall Street financial district, new york Stock Exchange and Bank of new york, all started in cafes.

1In the 1920s, coffee was first planted in the United States, and it was the Dutch who first spread coffee to Central and South America. Coffee spread from Dutch colonies to French Guiana and Brazil, and then from Britain to Jamaica. By 1925, growing coffee has become a tradition in Central and South America. In the same year, Hawaii also began to grow coffee, which is the only coffee producing area in the United States. Hawaiian coffee is also one of the best coffees in the world. So far, Brazil has long been the largest coffee producer in the world, accounting for about 30% of the global coffee production; Colombia is the second largest coffee producer, accounting for about 12% of global coffee production. At present, North America is the two largest coffee consuming areas. In Seattle, "Lartet" culture reinterprets the connotation of coffee culture, combining unique flavor coffee and beautifully designed coffee utensils with fashion and art, which is popular all over the world.

Coffee enters China According to historical records, 1884 coffee was successfully planted in Taiwan Province Province for the first time, which started the development of coffee in China. The earliest coffee cultivation in Chinese mainland began in Yunnan. At the beginning of the 20th century, a French missionary brought the first batch of coffee seedlings to Binchuan County, Yunnan Province. In the next hundred years, coffee cultivation in China, a vast country, was only "bit by bit".

Types of coffee

Espresso: Generally, espresso is brewed in mocha pots invented in Italy at home, and coffee is also extracted by using the principle of steam pressure (another apprentice of Watt). Mocha pot can let pressurized steam directly pass through coffee powder, and let steam instantly pass through the cell wall of coffee powder (or Hooke's apprentice) to quench the inner essence of coffee. Therefore, the brewed coffee has a strong aroma and bitter taste, and a thin layer of coffee oil appears on the surface of the coffee, which is the source of the attractive aroma of espresso.

Cappuccino latte: Cappuccino coffee is a variation of Italian coffee, that is, steaming milk is poured on the strong coffee, and the color of coffee is like a headscarf covered on the dark brown coat of Cappuccino church, hence the name.
