t was written in on Monastory that know no sleep(1672) by
Fausts-Nairon who was linguist in Lebanon.
It's stage is Highlands of Ethiopia. Kaldi who was Arabian goat keeper found his goat excited whether it is day or night . And he found they eat wild red nut at hillside. He visited near monestory and tell monc this story,so he wonder it.
He tried this effect his own.
He became energetic by drinking boiled the nut.
He surprised this experience,so he take it his monestory and recommended
his companions who have a doze.
Then there were no people who had a doze and suffered from sleepiness at
religious ceremony in all night. This rumor spread all over the country,and
people scrambled for the nut like magical.
Origin from Arabia
This origin was written in "coffee account"(1587) by Abdul-Cuddy who is Muslims.
The stage is in the mountain of Yemen.
Shake-Omar who was pupil of Sheek-Shadeli who was patron saint in Mocha of Arabia was famous for shaman and he was banished the country to Osaba because he was in love with princess of king of Mocha when he treated her by prayer.
He found birds sang cheerfully eating red nuts when he wandered as he starved.
He took it cave a try and drank boiled it that smell characteristics.
Then he became energetic.
After that he treated many people as a doctor by using the nut.
Then he was forgived and came back,and respected by people.
I think It's complicated to have two theories.
Which is true?
It is said Ethiopia's one is true.
Homo sapience lived Ethiopia,and there are some wild coffee tree in African country,so it is believed people ate coffee nuts since prehistoric times.
TO ARABIA
。●
AlthoughI understood coffee origin,i have a question how did it spread over the world.
OK, I'll explain it!
It is believed that people began to drink it at the biginning of 10 centuries.
Rhazes who was Arabian doctor recorded that he called "ban" dry coffee nut,and called this stocks "bankamu".
And he made his patients drink it.
He recorded it has digestive function, effect as a tranquilizer,and diuretic effect.
And it is said first record by letter,so it is important literature.
bankamu≒coffee？
That's right.
After about a century, Avicenna who was a doctor and a philosopher wrote about ban and bankamu "It's heat and smooth is so good, and it great effect as a tranquilizer. It strengthen various of body, and cleanse skin, and remove humidity.
It makes perfume.
There is description about medical effect of coffee too.
Because of these things, coffee drank as a medicine biginning of drinking coffee.
After that, coffee has passed as a secret medicine only mosque for a long time.
In like that, people bigan to drink roasted coffee from biginning at 13 centuries.
Coffee has told general Muslims first in the middle of 13 centuries, and it have spreaded to Mecca, Cairo and Damascus.
The oldest coffee shop "Kanes" was built at Constantinople (Istanbul) the middle of 14 centuries.
The shop was particular about furnishings, and decorations, so customers felt comfortable.
It won popularity as a sociable place.
After that, coffee shops increased in Turkey, and were accepted by diverse class people.
The more popular the coffee shops became, the more luxurious it became.
And it connected with salons.
Merchants ,travelers from various countries and lord chancellors who searched for government services, young men who aim at judge, and the Prime Minister's officers visited coffee shops, so it were called "school of wise person".
Although coffee won popularity, there were arguments for and against.
At last, Kyle Bay who was prefectural governor issued interdict of coffee, this is first oppression for coffee.
However this oppression made the then king of Egypt anger, who loved coffee, so he forced Kyle to take it back.
And he pronounced "It was not sin to drink coffee." .
After that, despite of some oppressions coffee push it aside.
Coffee was spreaded to Turkey in middle of 16 centries, after that it was spreaded to Europe too this way.
POINT
The origin of coffee have two theories which are “Origin from Ethiopia ” and ”Origin from Arabia”.
It is said Ethiopia's one is true , then it was spreaded to Arabia.
