Working on a laptop at a café/coffee house (2017)Ī coffeehouse or café is an establishment that primarily serves coffee, as well as other beverages. Worldwide production is increasing as of 2021. However, a policy of maintaining high prices soon opened opportunities to other nations, such as Venezuela and Colombia. For many decades in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Brazil was the biggest producer of coffee and a virtual monopolist in the trade. Coffee had a major influence on the geography of Latin America. The French territory of Saint-Domingue saw coffee cultivated starting in 1734, and by 1788 supplied half the world's coffee. Those sprouts flourished and 50 years later there were 18,680 coffee trees in Martinique enabling the spread of coffee cultivation to Saint-Domingue ( Haiti), Mexico and other islands of the Caribbean. Gabriel de Clieu brought coffee seedlings to Martinique in the Caribbean in 1720. Since then coffee plantations have become established in the region, extending south to Kodagu. Coffee also came to India from Baba Budan, a Sufi saint, he introduced coffee beans from Yemen to the hills of Chikmagalur, Karnataka in 1670. The Dutch also introduced it to Japan in the 17th century, it remained a curiosity until the lifting of trade restrictions in 1858 (the first European-style coffeehouse opened in Tokyo in 1888). Within a few years, the Dutch colonies ( Java in Asia, Suriname in the Americas) had become the main suppliers of coffee to Europe.
In 1658 the Dutch first used them to begin coffee cultivation in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and later in southern India but abandoned this cultivation to focus on their Javanese plantations in order to avoid lowering the price by oversupply. By 1675, there were more than 3,000 coffeehouses throughout England. The proprietor was Pasqua Rosée, the servant of Daniel Edwards, a trader in Turkish goods. The first coffeehouse in England was opened in St. In 1580 the Venetian botanist and physician Prospero Alpini imported coffee into the Republic of Venice from Egypt. In Italy, like in most of Europe, coffee arrived in the second half of the 16th century through the commercial routes of the Mediterranean Sea. Within a year of the Battle of Mohacs (1526), coffee had reached Vienna by Turks. From the Middle East, coffee drinking spread to Italy, then to the rest of Europe, and coffee plants were transported by the Dutch to the East Indies and to the Americas. Also during this period, coffee plants spread from Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant and Persia. Later, in the early 16th century coffee was forbidden by conservative imams but a fatwa by the Grand Mufti Ebussuud Efendi overturned this ban. ĭuring the 15th century, coffee was known to be a beverage used in the Ottoman Empire. By 1414, the plant was known in Mecca, and in the early 16th century was spreading to the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt and North Africa from the Yemeni port of Mocha. Yemeni Sufis drank coffee to help in concentration when they chanted the name of God. Evidence of knowledge of the coffee tree and coffee drinking first appeared in the late 15th century Sufi Imam Muhammad Ibn Said Al Dhabhani is known to have imported goods from Ethiopia to Yemen. The earliest grown coffee can be traced from Ethiopia. The term coffee culture is also used in popular business media to describe the deep impact of the market penetration of coffee-serving establishments. In urban centres around the world, it is not unusual to see several espresso shops and stands within walking distance of one another, or on opposite corners of the same intersection.

In the late 17th and 18th centuries, coffeehouses in London became popular meeting places for artists, writers, and socialites, as well as centres for political and commercial activity.
