International Coffee Day began in Japan on September 29, 1983, as a promotion by The All Japan Coffee Association. In the United States, "National Coffee Day" emerged in 2005, and in 2017 it expanded to a 2-3 day event.
Coffee remains one of the world's favorite beverages, and its origins are in North Africa and the Middle East (MENA). There is debate about whether Yemen or Ethiopia can claim its discovery as far back as the 9th century AD. Whether a goat herders discovery or the concoctions of Sufi monks, the written evidence of coffee drinking and cultivation begins in Yemen during the early 15th century. By 1414 notations show the drink in Mecca, the Islamic holy city. By the early 1500s, coffee was a staple beverage throughout the Muslim world. Coffee entered Europe via Malta, then to Italy before spreading throughout the continent, quickly gaining favor in Europe by the 1600s.
Coffee did have its share of controversy. Orthodox Christians were banned from drinking it because it originated with Muslims. Coffee houses in Europe often prohibited women from entering, and some religions, including Mormonism, shun the drinking of the beverage because it has caffeine.
Today coffee is a social drink, a meal topper, and a daily luxury enjoyed by billions of people worldwide. It is a multi-billion dollar business, with varieties ranging from cardamom and light roast to hickory and dark roast.
The top 5 coffee producing countries as of 2021 are:
Brazil (2,680,515 metric tons)
Vietnam (1,542,398 metric tons)
Columbia (754,376 metric tons)
Indonesia (668,677 metric tons)
Honduras (475,042 metric tons)
The best way to celebrate International Coffee Day? Enjoy a cup of Joe, or try a version you may not have had before, such as Turkish, Arabic, Italian, or just plain drip.
