recent botanical evidence indicates that Coffea arabica was first grown on the plateaus of central Ethiopia. there, the galla tribe used to mix the beans with animal fat and eat this mixture as a source of nutrition. In 1000 A.D.,the Arabs began to boil the beans and created a drink they called "qahwa," which means wine, coffee, or any drink made from plants.Coffee was also used by the people of that region to get more energy. However,the turks were the first to adopt coffee as an everyday drink, often adding adding spices to the brew. the world's first coffeehouse was opened in Constantinople in 1475.
