As you reflect on your best self, consider also the remarkable and often-overlooked legacy of coffee's African origin. Long before coffee graced the modern world's cafes, its story began in the ancient highlands of Ethiopia, where Africans were the first to harness its power, roasting and brewing beans into energizing drinks. This profound knowledge was then carried forth by the Moors — Black Muslim scholars — who brought coffee to North Africa and into Spain, alongside pivotal advancements in fields like science, medicine, and mathematics. Europe didn't invent this globally cherished brew; they inherited it, a testament to enduring African innovation and cultural exchange. Your morning cup becomes a literal sip of Black brilliance, connecting you to a lineage of ingenuity, resilience, and quiet strength that continues to fuel the modern world. Discover how Africa gave the world coffee and why your daily ritual is truly a taste of Black history.
