Q: Does coffee originate from South America?
A: Coffee originated in Africa.
A long time ago, African residents mixed coffee berries
with nuts and oil to make food balls and used them as rations.
Around the 6th century AD, people would boil coffee beans
into juice to drink to refresh themselves, or as a medicine
to treat illnesses.
By the 16th century, most of the Muslim world regarded coffee
as a popular drink. After centuries of immigration,
colonization, and trade, coffee was gradually introduced to
Egypt, southern Europe, and then throughout Europe, and
eventually to the world.
