We went there to better understand all this and choose new varieties. This article is about the trip. Ethiopia, namely the rainforests in the Kaffa region, is the birthplace of Arabica. From the name of this region, the very word "coffee" comes from. Arabica trees still grow wild there. Entrance to the Kaffa zone - the place of appearance of the Arabica species The history of the spread of coffee around the world began more than a thousand years ago, when people first realized that the berries of this tree have a tonic effect. Nobody knows exactly how the idea arose that the grains of a berry should first be fried, and only then cooked. However, at the beginning of the second millennium, coffee had already spread throughout Ethiopia. Around the 15th century, the Arabs brought coffee seedl Teaching CVs in Ethiopia ings to Yemen and established the first commercial coffee plantations. Then they started shipping roasted coffee beans all over the world. Coffee was popular in Muslim countries because it perfectly replaced the wine prohibited there. The name of the species "Arabica" comes from the name of the Arabian Peninsula. Following the Muslim world, coffee came to Europe, where it gained popularity just as quickly. First as a medicine and then as a daily drink. In the 17th century, Europeans did not like Yemen's monopoly on the supply of coffee, and they secretly took tree seedlings to their colonies with a suitable climate. The first country where the seedlings fell was India. From India, coffee was brought to Indonesia, and from there it gradually spread to all the colonies located in the tropical belt of the Earth. The most interesting thing about this story is that all the coffee grown in the world today came from just a few Arabica seedlings of the "typika" variety, which were then taken to Yemen from Ethiopia. Then the coffee found itself in different climatic conditions, interbred with each other and gradually mutated. So new varieties appeared. However, they all still have rather limited genetic diversity. Ethiopia in this sense is a unique country. Thousands of wild species grow here, many of which have not even been classified yet. It was here that species such as Geisha, Rume Sudan and Wush-Wush were found.
