The province of Kaffa in Ethiopia is considered to be the original habitat of coffee Arabia (Arabica) and Central Africa is recognized to be the home of coffee conephora .
The history of coffee dates back to 575 AD when the first1 cultivation was started in Yemen. This was the period when Persian invasion put an end to the Ethiopia rules of Negus celeb that conquered the country in 525 AD.
Certainly, the discovery of beverage resulted in cultivation of the plant in Abyssians and Arabia but its progress was slow until 15th and 16th centuries.
The Arabians were jealous of their new found lucrative industry' and for a time successfully prevented its spread to other country by not permitting any of the precious berries to leave the country unless they had first keen steeped in boiling water or parched so as to destroy their power of germination.
However, it was not practically possible to watch every avenues of transport, with thousands of pilgrims journeying to and from Mecca every year and this explains as how coffee was introduced in India.
According to the Mythology, Arabica Coffee was introduced in India sometime during 1600 AD by a Muslim Pilgrim, Baba budan. He is reported to have brought seven seeds from Yemen, presumably Mecca and raised seedlings on his hermitage on the hills near chickmagalur Coffee seeding gradually came to be planted in the backyard and gardens of most of neighboring villages specially in Attigundi. It is from these gardens that seedlings were introduced to Nalakand in coorg, which subsequently gave raise to luxuriant coorg plantation of today.
