Coffee originally came from the African continent, based on historical records or more precisely the legendary coffee tree grown in the territory of kaffa kingdom of Ethiopia, red berber plant originally named kaffa (cafe) in accordance with the name of the area discovered around the 9th century. But another legend says that coffee has been cultivated in Yemen from seeds originating from kaffa around the year 575.
Another coffee legend from the catatonic history of Islam, Coffee was invented by Sheikh Omar a physician who had the ability to cure illnesses, because the excesses he had possessed sheik were exiled to a desert cave near Ousab, sheik searching for food from the wild plants growing around the cave, red seedy tree that contains the seeds and chew it but it tastes bitter unlike the red color sweet impressed, because sheik curious try to grill the beans but the fact the beans so hard. Still curious sheik picking up the hard roasted black beans softened by boiling into hot water, it turns out after softening the beans and coffee together into a fragrant brown liquid. After drinking sheikh feel different sensations and influences.
At that time the mocha population was suffering from a mysterious illness, on the advice of a resident of sheikh omar called to seek help for healing aid, sheikh gave a drink of his research to the sufferer and it turned out they were healed. But another version says, sheikh omar heals the mysterious disease of princess mochas king with a boiled coffee bean herb.
While another legend, coffee originated from Abyssina (one of the ethnoopic regions) found by a goat herd named Kaldi who lived around the year 850. Every day kaldi only spend time as a goat herd until one day may be on his luck as the inventor of coffee Kaldi observed the behavior of goats different from the usual, there is something strange when the goats bleat hard and jumping jaunty. Kaldi noticed her goats behaving strangely eating bright red fruits growing in the surrounding green bushes. Out of curiosity he tried to eat some seeds and the effect went to work. Kaldi felt a sudden joyful sensation.
Conscious of something strange with the seed, Kaldi plucked some seeds and put into his pocket and immediately went home to tell what was found to his wife. His wife said that the seeds were sent from heaven then asked kaldi to bring to the smart man. Surprised by the kalds story of the sensation of eating the red berries, the clever person then throws him into the fire because he believes the beast contains something evil. But a miracle ensued, the room immediately filled with the aroma of baked beans.
Interestingly, the Arabic-language scientific manuscripts around 900 years have no record of the coffee that puts coffee as an intoxicating drink (bunna) in Ethiopia. From the scientific record it can at least support the origin of coffee from ethiopia. The process of distributing coffee to the whole of Africa, especially mecca, according to historical records of coffee derived from Ethiopia is often brought as a drink by merchants ethiopia and sudan when traveling hard and hard. From the very beginning the people of kaffa already believed coffee could refresh the mind and restore power.
Another note that supports the origins of ethiopia as the birthplace of coffee, in 1454 Mufti aden was entertained with coffee while visiting Ethiopia because the taste of the mufti impressed and brought coffee to be introduced in Mecca (Saudi Arabia). In Mecca, a welcome to coffee known as Qahwa stands for qahhwat al-bun (the intoxicant seed) is amazing. The next period in Mecca opened the first coffee shop in the world called Kaveh Kanes, the growing popularity of coffee among the people of mecca to the moldy coffee shop in Mecca. The problem comes when some residents including clerics question the law of drinking coffee, as in the Qur'an there is a prohibition to consume drinks or foods that are "intoxicating". However, some argue that coffee is not an intoxicating drink, the dispute continued until in 1511, the then Mecca governor named Khair Beg ordered all coffee shops to be closed, causing a fierce and widespread debate until the Sultan of Cairo intervened. In 1512 when the governor of Mecca was arrested and sentenced to death on charges of embezzlement, coffee again persisted in Mecca.
