How humanity got hooked on coffee - Jonathan Morris

Trace the history of coffee, from its first known origins to its rise in popularity due to trade routes and cultivation.
--
One day around 850 CE, a goatherd observed that his goats started acting abnormally after nibbling on some berries. The herder tried them himself, and soon enough, he was just as hyper. As the story goes, this was humanity’s first run-in with coffee. So, how did coffee go from humble plant to one of the world's most consumed beverages? Jonathan Morris traces the history of this energizing elixir.

    Making tea from coffee leaves just feels wild to me, like two worlds colliding that are normally seperate.

    I've watched this while drinking a hot coffee on this rainy, gloomy day. Thank you, Ethiopia, for disovering this magical beverage.

    I truly loved the way you highlighted the exploitation of forests and workers. It hurts that whenever high profit comes into the picture it brings inequality and injustice.

    one of the most fascinating fact about Ethiopia you can get the best coffee ever from its origin land

    Fun fact: Coffee is so much important in Turkish culture, that very word for ''breakfast'' is ''kahvaltı'' meaning: Before coffee.

    The reason why Coffee houses were banned in Ottoman Empire for a short time is because Sultan Murat IV (he is my fave Sultan btw) was suspicious that Janissary Corps could come up with plans to overthrow him, as he was deeply affected as a child by the dethronement and execution of his half-brother Sultan Osman the Young by the Janissaries.

    I appreciate that this didn't just cover the popularity of coffee and good parts, but also covered the awful humanitarian practices that have endured.

    Turkish coffee ☕️ has since Ottoman times been the most popular beverage in Cyprus.

    love it !! as an italian, coffee is a big part of my routine and culture. the video was so interesting because we rarely get to know the history of coffee itself, other than coffee houses, or coffee as an exportation from certain countries...

    I appreciate that people are dedicated to figuring out what we can do to keep growing coffee. It's disappointing that they have to, but I'm grateful that they are.

    I don't enjoy coffee as a drink, but I love the flavor in ice creams, candies, cakes and other desserts. Also caffeine causes me to experience nausea, so it's definitely another reason to stay away from it. In the morning (on occasion) I might have tea with milk and honey, or hot chocolate but never coffee. My extended family on the other hand drinks coffee day and night. My mom especially would have a cup before bed.☕
