Coffee originates from the Coffea plant, primarily found in tropical regions. The two most common species are Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora (commonly known as Robusta). The journey of coffee begins in the highlands of Ethiopia, where it was first discovered. From there, it spread to the Arabian Peninsula, becoming a popular beverage in Yemen by the 15th century. As coffee gained popularity, it traveled to Europe and the Americas, leading to the establishment of coffee plantations in countries like Brazil, Colombia, and Vietnam. Today, coffee is one of the most traded commodities globally, enjoyed by millions for its rich flavors and stimulating effects.
