Ethiopia is the beginning of coffee and that the Arabica coffee tree originated there where it still grows wild – The name “coffee” descends from the Ethiopian town of KAFFA where coffee was founded first. In fact, coffee trees still grow in the wild and the Ethiopia Yirga cheffe beans produce coffee with a distinctive winy flavor and a dense body. We may have first learned how to cultivate the coffee tree in the ninth century; we do not, however, know who, how, or why, and still remains a mystery today.
