The extraordinary history of coffee is filled with delight, devotion, intolerance, and intrigue. Exactly where and when coffee was first cultivated is debated, but botanical evidence confirms that Coffea Arabica originated on the plateaus of central Abyssinia (now Ethiopia), several thousand feet above sea level. Coffee trees still grow wild there in the shade of the canopies of the highland forests.

Hey,
Want some plum jam with that coffee? Nice job, Johnny!
I drink lots of black tea, but your web page encourages many virtues of the dark bean rather than the roasted leaf.
Thanks for a really good site, and thanks for letting me know.

Wow! I didn’t know anything about the history. A fellow bike/train commuter friend who’s Ethiopian told me about the beautiful coffee ritual of that land – a group shares a pot together. But I didn’t know that coffee originates from that place.
BTW, since becoming an espresso convert, I’ve fallen in love with the subtle depth of Arabicas.
thanks for all that you do in the world, Johnny.
