Our coffee tour Ethiopia, is the birthplace of coffee, and there is no better place to learn about the history and production of this delicious beverage than on a coffee tour with Testimony Tour and Travel.
The History of Coffee
Coffee is believed to have originated in Ethiopia, in the Kaffa region. Legend has it that a goat herder named Kaldi noticed that his goats became more energetic after eating the berries of a certain tree. He tried the berries himself and found that they kept him awake. Kaldi shared his discovery with the monks at a nearby monastery, and they soon began using coffee to stay alert during long hours of prayer.
Coffee quickly spread from Ethiopia to other parts of the world. It was introduced to Europe in the 17th century, and quickly became popular. Today, coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. Ethiopia is still a major producer of coffee, and is known for its high-quality beans.
