Domesticated in Ethiopia in pre-biblical times, coffee is a plant, the roasted and grinding beans of which may be used to make a stimulating, caffeine-containing, beverage.
Coffee reached Europe in the 17th century AD, when traders from the East brought it to Venice. Soon afterwards, coffeehouses began to spring up across Europe. Coffee was most widely embraced in England over the next two centuries. [1] Today, Brazil exports more coffee than any other nation. [2]
Coffee grows best in areas with moderate amounts of both rain and sunshine, and with temperatures that do not deviate far from 70º F. [3]
