🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️

-THE ISLAND LIFE-

It was around 800 AD, when a shepherd grazing his goats on the high plateaus of the city of Kaffa in Abyssinia, which we call Ethiopia today, noticed something interesting one day.

The goats, who got tired while climbing high hills, were revived when they ate the small red fruits of a tree, could not stand still, and could not even sleep.

The shepherd asked, "Why?" to himself, then said, "It must be from this fruit."

He ate those fruits himself. He realized that he had become stronger and more energetic in a short time.

That fruit was coffee.

The name coffee also comes from the name of the city where it is located, Kaffa.

Its fame spread to the region in a short time.

It became a passion, especially in the Arabian Peninsula.

The Arabs called this happiness hormone "Qahva".

The British: Coffe.

Its fame spread from Yemen to the Ottomans, from the Ottomans to Europe, and from there to America.

A special "Head Coffee Maker" worked in the Ottoman Palace.

The man's only job was to make coffee for the sultan.

Coffee even entered our folk songs.

"Coffee comes from Yemen, its water comes from fenugreek."

Those who carried coffee from Africa to the Arabian Peninsula were Muslim dervishes.

Those who carried it to America and the Far East were Christian monks.

Dervishes drank coffee in a single form, boiling its powder with hot water.

What we call Turkish coffee is one of those made that way.

Monks found different types of coffee.

For example, the name Cappucino came from the "hooded" dress worn by monks.

They called the one made with dark roasted coffee "Espresso".

Although some call it Expresso, the original is Espresso. It means pressed, hot in Spanish.

When you pour espresso over milk, you get "Macchiato".

Macchiato means speck in Italian.

Coffee specks on milk.

When you add hot water to espresso, you get "Cafe Americano".

They call the mixture of espresso, milk and cocoa "Mocha". The name comes from the port of El Mocha in Yemen.

What about that guy that stoke coffee plants and ship wrecked in the Caribbean?

Also wondering if the Byzantines ever drank coffee - 800 to 1453 is a long time, but we only ever hear of it being arabic

Much of it is speculation and legend I dare say. The records and history for many things are sketchy to say the least. Hence it's hard to say with any degree of certainty that's for sure.
