Coffee
Coffee is perhaps one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world. Its history can be traced back as early to the 9th century, and it is believed to have originated in Western Ethiopia. In fact, some suggest that the name coffee might come from Kafia, an Ethiopian city. The popularity of coffee is known to have spread to European countries by the 17th century and eventually made its way to the American colonies. It is somewhat interesting to note that coffee was not well received initially in America. The popularity of coffee grew during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, when the country experienced a tea shortage. Today, coffee is a very popular beverage in the United Sates, as well as the rest of the world.
