History of coffee: the first coffee was chewed

Now people like to drink a cup of coffee in their spare time afternoon and enjoy the warm sunshine. Coffee always seems to be closely connected with elegance, so it is very popular with young people. The origins of coffee are also very long. 3000 years ago, there was a country called the kingdom of KOFA, that is, Ethiopia in Africa today. It is the first place in the world to eat coffee. At that time, people chewed the whole coffee fruit like chewing gum. I don't want to know. It certainly doesn't taste good. Of course, people don't want to be delicious, but they find that eating coffee fruit can make people excited.

Surprisingly, coffee has also been used militarily. The ruler asked the chef to develop a refreshment that would invigorate the soldiers - a mixture of grease and coffee beans to make it the size of a table tennis ball. Whenever soldiers go to battle to kill the enemy, they will bring this kind of snack. Later, when the war was lost, the soldiers were captured and had unfinished 'military food', so they sowed coffee seeds all the way.

In this way, coffee slowly spread to other places, and immediately became popular. Of course, it's not because of its good taste. In the major sacrifice, coffee beans are what people must eat. Because at that time, people thought that this kind of food can cause emotional fluctuations, and there must be some mysterious power that can be used to communicate with God.

Coffee became a drink, about 800 years ago. At that time, some people did evil things and sold Africans to a place called Mocha port in the Middle East. The first modern coffee was invented in this period. The clever Arabs grind coffee beans into powder, add milk and sugar, and make an addictive drink. Mocha coffee is named after the port.

The communication ability of the port is very strong. The coffee drinking method has spread from the Arab region to Europe. It is said that the rise of the West began with people changing drinking to coffee. Before coffee was introduced into Europe, people's daily drink was wine, but the more wine they drank, the more confused they were, and the more mistakes they made. Coffee is different. The more you drink, the more exciting and energetic you are. At that time, the upper class people in Europe liked to stay in coffee shops, talk about life, talk about politics, equal communication, and the atmosphere was very free. In this way, coffee has become the mainstream drink in Europe.

The European enthusiasm for coffee has once again accelerated the 'globalization' of coffee. A large number of coffee planting, coffee culture from Asia and Europe to North and South America, Australia and so on. The taste of coffee has also become varied.

From a physiological point of view, coffee entering the body will stimulate the secretion of dopamine, dopamine will bring satisfaction, so people will become addicted. From the spread history of coffee, it is not only physiological dependence, but also witness the germination, development and rise of modern civilization.
