The wild Coffea Arabica discovered in ancient Ethiopia was brought to Arabia between 575 and 850 by African tribes and the Sufis – known as “whirling dervishes”. Thanks to the Dutch this wonderful bean began to spread widely. In 1706, they broke the Arab monopoly by taking the first harvest and a coffee plant from a Javanese plantation to the Netherlands. This specimen gave birth to the Universal Coffee Nursery at the Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam. Eventually, coffee beans would be traveling into the New World.
