History records the coffee plant originating from Abyssinia, the name of the old area in Africa which currently covers the territory of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Little is known of how the Abyssinians used the coffee plant. Various historical references say coffee is popularized as a refreshment drink by the Arabs. Coffee beans became a commercial commodity after being brought by Arab traders to Yemen.
Coffee is a kind of beverage derived from the processing and extraction of seeds of coffee plants. The word coffee itself comes from Arabic QAHWAH which means strength, because at first coffee is used as a high-energy food. The word qahwah again changed to KAHVEH which comes from the Turkish language and then changed again into KOFFIE in Dutch. The use of the word koffie is immediately absorbed into Indonesian into the word COFFE that is known today, and its Acehnese language KUPI.
Controversy Concerning Coffee
Year 1600
Italian Christian priests asked Pope Clement VIII to forbid coffee on the grounds that this drink was a non-Muslim (Muslim) drink. Before deciding halal or haram, the Pope tasted coffee and tasted it as a very good drink so he decided that coffee was halal.
