Would life be possible without coffee? Would our modern society cease to function if we could no longer drink our dark piping hot caffeine elixir?
Our story begins in a dark, scary time in human history. The Precaffazine.
The ancient land of Ethiopia may be the cradle of all humankind. But more importantly it is the birthplace of coffee. Here in the mountainous rainforests near Kaffa, coffee has grown wild for millennia.
We don’t exactly know when humans first began consuming coffee. But the most popular story involves some happy goats.
The history of coffee is a fascinating one. One connected to mystical Muslim Sufi’s, French revolutionaries, slaves, soldiers, constipation and alcohol-soaked toddlers. So what is the history of coffee? Well. Let’s find out!

    Fun fact: Douwes Dekker's novel Max Havelaar is one of the literatures that changed the Netherlands' colonial policy in Indonesia to Etische Politiek (Ethical Policy) that treated the native Indonesian population more as people, not just subjects. Although the policy was a failure, this in turn sparked the Indonesian National Awakening which culminated in 1928's Sumpah Pemuda (Youth Pledge). The Pledge sparked the Indonesian National Revolution and eventually led to Indonesian Proclamation of Independence in 1945. Dutch Decolonialisation of Indonesia also sparked the call for decolonialisation in Africa and elsewhere. Coffee helped Douwes Dekker to write Max Havelaar, which in turn helped to change the Netherlands' colonial policy, which in turn sparked the National Awakening, which in turn sparked the National Revolution, which led to Indonesian Proclamation of Independence, which in turn sparked the decolonialisation elsewhere in the world. So, you could say that coffee sparked colonialism and put an end to it.

    Andrean, coffee is a really good example of the complexity of history, the complexity of causation, the serendipity of history, and the double-edged nature of a lot of things. Coffee has lead to enlightenment and freedom while at the same time has led to slavery, colonialism, and political oppression. It has uplifted different societies through trade while crushing others through environmental collapse and genocide. It has health benefits but can also be dangerous to your health.

I will cede that genocide may be slightly overstating the deaths caused by the Spanish colonisation of the Americas which were in some places mostly a result of communicable disease brought about by the Colombian exchange, but this was something that affected Costa Rica as it affected all of the Americas.

    As a side note the urban legend about everyone in Medieval and Early Modern Europe being totally reliant on alcohol due to unclean water is mostly untrue. Most people had access to wells, springs or streams and it was only really in the major towns and cities that people had issues accessing clean drinking water. Even then, while alcoholic drinks were the most popular choice, other clean drinks (such as fruit juices and milk) were available and popularly consumed too. Alcoholic dinks were much more widely consumed than today but not everyone totally relied on them for clean water and there were other options.

    early accounts say Ali ben Omar of the Shadhili Sufi order was the first to introduce coffee to Arabia.[16] According to al Shardi, Ali ben Omar may have encountered coffee during his stay with the Adal king Sadadin's companions in 1401. Famous 16th-century Islamic scholar Ibn Hajar al-Haytami notes in his writings of a beverage called qahwa developed from a tree in the Zeila region.[13] Coffee was first exported out of Ethiopia to Yemen by Somali merchants from Berbera and Zeila, which was procured form Harar and the Abyssinian interior. According to Captain Haines, who was the colonial administrator of Aden (1839-1854), Mocha historically imported up to two-thirds of their coffee from Berbera-based merchants before the coffee trade of Mocha was captured by British-controlled Aden in the 19th century. Thereafter, much of the Ethiopian coffee was exported to Aden via Berbera.

Yes, probably, and would be a better approximation of the origin of that name). Also, no one uses that term anymore outside of historical description as its considered a colonial renaming of the country Lanka, now Sri Lanka (that's not me taking a potshot at you, just providing context for other viewers).

I opened another video and kept in the tabs. I started whatching this one first and had already seen the first minute but paused because I was interupted by a different video. This other video was by Reallifelore and was released today about The black death. I had paused this video right arround the first minute at Kaffa. So when the other video mentioned a place called Kaffa in Crimea where the plague in the 14th century started I was flabergasted at the odds of this taking place. Might have to do some research wether Kaffa is a common name...
