The Origins and History
of Coffee
Coffee is a brewed drink made from the roasted seeds of several species of an
evergreen shrub of the genus Coffea, namely Coffea arabica and Coffea
canephora. English word coffee comes from Dutch koffie, which came from
Turkish kahve, which is, in turn, borrowed from Arabic qahwa, which is a short
form of qahhwat al-bun which means “wine of the bean”. There is also theory
that Turkish kahve comes from Arabic qahā, which means "to have no appetite"
because it was believed that this beverage dulls hunger.
