#DidYouKnow that historically, coffee as a hot beverage was introduced to the world by Muslim saints in the 15th-century in Yemen? Now the whole Western world drinks coffee. It was first discovered by the 9th-century Ethiopian goat-herder Kaldi. In its earliest days, coffee helped Sūfīs from Yemen to stay up during late nights of devotion (Dhikr). Later brought to Cairo by a group of students, the coffee buzz soon caught on around the empire. By the 16th century it reached Turkey, but not until the 17th century did the beans start boiling in Europe, brought to Italy by a Venetian trader. Did you know this?
