Story of Coffe e
i
Picking Coffee Berries in Brazil.
(Prepared by the National Geographle 1
Soclety, Washington, D. C.) |
HE recent announcement that |
coffee consumption in the Unit-
ed States climbed to a total of 13
pounds per person in 1930, adds
interest to the checkered career of the
beverage since it was first brewed in
| the Near East a millennium and a
half ago.
There are about 8¢ species of coifee
plants but only a few of them are
extensively cultivated for commercial
use. The coffee plant Is a cousin of
| the cinchona tree from the bark of
which quinine is produced. Gambler,
which furnishes tanning material and
dyes that bear the same name, and
madder from the roots of which a
substance Is extracted that Is impor-
tant in some red dyes, also are re
lated to the coffee plant.
The coffee plant started its world-
wide ramblings centuries ago. Begin-
ning In the hills of Ethiopia, I(t
“Jumped” the Red Sea and coffee
plantations began to rise above the
soil of the extreme southern tip of
Arabla where the famous Mocha cof-
fee now Is produced, Later it was
carried to Europe (about 250 years
ngo) and then to the West Indies and
Brazil,
Tradition has It that the discovery
of coffee's stimulating effect upon the
human system was an accident, One
story runs that the plant was dis
covered In the Fourth century by a
group of monks who had been driven
out of Egypt and found refuge in the
Ethiopian hills, The monks main-
talned themselves by agriculture and
sheep and goat raising. One night a
monk reported to his leader that the
flocks would not rest—that they were
wide awake and frisking about during
the hours when they should be quiet.
The leader started investigations that
led to the coffee plant which he found
the animals consuméd while browsing
on the hillsides. He chewed a few of
the berries from the strange bush and
found that they kept him unusually
alert during the night services which
were held in accordance with his re-
ligion,
Although coffee did not strike a
popular cord among Buropeans until
the Fifteenth century, as early as the
reign of Charles II, in the middle of
the Seventeenth century there were
more than 3,000 coffee houses In Lon-
don. Today coffee is a popular brew
in every continent and om the civilized
islands of the seas, with the United
States as the world's leading con-
sumer, More than 1,599,000,000 pounds
of coffee were imported by the United
States last year. )
First Used as a Paste,
But the coffee berry has had Its
aps and downs during its rise to fame
in the beverage world. [ts first use
was in the form of a paste which
was eaten, Early Moslems were not
permitted to drink wine, so they
learned the art of making a brew from
coffee berries. The name coffee is
derived from the Arabic word Kah-
weh, which was pronounced Kahveh
by the Turks. Kahveh was the gen-
eral Arable term for Intoxicating
liquors.
According to some authorities, the
first cup of coffee was drunk as a
refreshment at Aden, Arabia, In the
Fifteenth century. Cairo began drink-
ing the beverage about 50 years lzter.
Meanwhile Moslem leaders held a
| meeting at Mecca where they decided
that coffee should be banned, That
was In 1511. As a result of the Mecca
decision, coffee warehouses were burned
and coffee houses were closed in many
parts of the Mohammedan world.
Some of the coffee house proprietors
were beaten with their own brewing
utensils by fanatical Moslems,
The ban in Egypt lasted only thir-
teen years, when Sultan Selim I gave
coffee his stamp of approval, He em-
phasized his approval of the brew by
ordering the execution of two Persian
doctors who had denounced the use of
coffee as injurious to health, Today
Egypt is among the largest coffee
drinking regions of the world. Some
desert people of Egypt and the Near
East use the beverage In connection
with religious observances,
In the East, coffee is usually used
in powdered form. The coffee beans
popularly known In the United States
are placed In a mortar and pounded.
Then the powder Is put Into boiling
water, The coffee maker serves the
beverage only after a prescribed cere-
mony, He pours a small quantity of
the liquid Into one cup and then
rinses each cup with the brew. After
all cups have been rinsed, the rinsing
liquid Is poured on the fire as a
tribute to Sheykh esh Shadhilly, the
coffee drinkers’ patron, Half a cup
is served first to the eldest and most
honored guest. To hand a full cup to
a guest would be an insult,

How the Bean Is Handled.
The coffee plant grows to a height
of from 15 to 20 feet, [ts blossoms re-
main on the plant only a day or two
when the petals wither and fall and
the fruit begins to take shape. A bush
produces from two to three crops a
year. Ripe coffee berries resemble
dark red cherries. Inside the “cher-
ries” are two coffee beans (the coffee
of commerce) which are extracted by
various processes.
The beans are enveloped In a deh
cate skin and fleshy pulp. In Arabia
these coverings are removed by the
old drying method. The berries are
spread out on a drying floor a few
inches deep where they are frequently Coun
stirred so that each berry may be
exposed to the sun, The pulpy cover-
ing dries in from two to three weeks
after which the berries are pounded
until the coffee beans are set free .
The most popular method of hulling
is the wet method. The berries are
brought in from the field and placed
in tanks. The mature berries will
sink to the bottom of the tank where
they are drawn off through pipes and
conveyed to crushing machines, The tre
crushed mass passes to a water tank
where it Is stirred to separate the
beans, The beans fall to the bottom
of the tank and are withdrawn, At
this stage the beans are covered with Is.
