The origin of coffee is still debated, but it is widely believed that coffee was first discovered in the Ethiopian Highlands around 1000 A.D. Since then, coffee has spread throughout the world and has been sold, cultivated and enjoyed in a variety of cultures and countries. As coffee traveled around the world, it was adapted and blended with other beverages, flavors and technology to create some of the more famous coffee drinks and production methods we have today. Coffee's popularity continues to grow and has even become an integral part of many cultures and lifestyles worldwide.
