coffee in europe
In the 16th century, during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, Turkey developed the custom of drinking coffee daily.
Despite the bans, coffee did not lose its popularity, and the first cafes were opened in Istanbul in the middle of the 16th century.
The man who introduced coffee to Europe was the Venetian physician Prospero Alpini. In 1570, Venetian merchants imported coffee into Venice along with tobacco.
A great lover of coffee was King Louis XIV of France, whose goal was to start growing in France. Realizing that this is not possible because the plant does not tolerate frost and low temperatures, he decided to build the first greenhouses in the world. Namely, he wanted to grow the first coffee tree, known as the noble tree.
But production in greenhouses was not enough. The demand for coffee was so great that the amount of coffee produced in greenhouses was simply not enough.
So Louis orders one of his sailors to take a few seedlings of the plant and transfer them by boat to French estates in the Caribbean. The cultivation flourished so much that in the middle of the 18th century more than 15 million bushes of this plant grew on the island.
The first coffee house in the world was opened in Arabia during the 16th century. There is also an archived record of the opening of the first one in Istanbul. These were places reserved exclusively for men, where hot beverages such as coffee, tea and chocolate were served, and alcohol was forbidden to be poured.
The word coffee
There are many different opinions and interpretations about the origin of the word coffee. Some say that the name "coffee" came from the name of the southwestern Ethiopian province of Kafa (today Kefa), where this plant was discovered.
Others say the region was named after the plant.
A theory has also been developed that the name "coffee" comes from the Arabic name "qahwa" which refers to a black beverage made from roasted and ground beans. "Qahwa" can also be translated as "reduce the desire for something" and so it was called a drink that reduces the appetite for food, and in fact it was wine. When coffee arrived in Europe, it was called "Arabic wine".
Breeding, development and popularization
-
The oldest and most popular type of coffee. It gives a bean from which high quality coffee can be obtained. The beans of this species give a mild and aromatic coffee, sometimes enriched with a little chocolate and spices. It is estimated that as much as 70% of the world's coffee belongs to this type.
-
This type of coffee contains twice as much caffeine as coffea arabica. It is used to enhance the taste of other coffees. The share of production in the world does not exceed 30%, and the reason is that robusta caffeine is specific for its bitter - sour taste. It gives a thick and spongy foam.
