Let's delve deeper into the past and discover how coffee conquered the world and what this can mean for your business.
Legends of the early days
The history of coffee is deeply rooted in myths and legends. One of the most famous stories tells of Kaldi, a shepherd boy in Ethiopia, who noticed that his goats became extremely lively after eating the red berries of a particular bush. The monks in a nearby monastery then discovered that a drink made from these berries helped them stay awake during the long hours of prayer. Thus began the global journey of coffee, from a simple bush to one of the world's favourite drinks.
From incense to stimulant
After its discovery in Ethiopia, coffee made its way across the Arabian Peninsula, where it quickly became the "wine of Islam". Coffee houses, known as Qahveh Khaneh, sprang up all over the Muslim world, from Mecca to Cairo to Istanbul, and became centres of social activity and political discussion. These early coffee houses laid the foundations for the coffee house culture that would later flourish in Europe.
The European coffee revolution
When coffee reached Europe in the 17th century, it quickly found favour with the population and triggered a "coffee house revolution". In cities such as Venice, London, Paris and Vienna, coffee houses became centres of intellectual exchange, culture and innovation. They played a key role in the Enlightenment by providing a space for free thought and debate. The history of coffee in Europe is also a history of social change, in which coffee was transformed from an exotic luxury to an everyday necessity.
Coffee in global trade and change
Over the centuries, coffee has developed into one of the most important commodities in the world. Its production and distribution have shaped entire economic sectors and are a reflection of global trade flows and colonial ambitions. The history of coffee is inextricably linked to the history of modern world trade, from the coffee plantations of Latin America to the trading houses of Europe and the cafés and kitchens around the globe.
