Coffee. Does the word itself make you
think of exotic lands and royal intrigue?
It should. Because the truth is, coffee has
a deeply romantic past steeped in mystery
and adventure.
It has had many names, in many places.
Arab traders called it Gahwah. In the Spice
Islands, it was called Java. Portuguese
explorers called it café. Today, there is no
country in the world where coffee is not
loved and enjoyed, usually with friends.
In fact, "café" has even come to mean a
gathering place.
But it all started a long, long time ago,
in a desert far away...
