Once scorned as the Devil's drink, coffee has triumphed over centuries of scepticism to become a beloved global phenomenon, and now is your chance to discover its rich history. Originating in Ethiopia, where its stimulating properties were first discovered by goat herders, this miraculous beverage soon captivated the world. However, coffee faced opposition from religious authorities in the Middle East and Europe during the 16th century.

Embraced by intellectuals and artists, coffeehouses became crucibles of creativity and discourse, igniting the flames of revolution and innovation.
