@jackie@deadinsi.de @mythologyandhistory@mas.to coffee originated in modern day Ethiopia. The history of how it spread around the world, is actually pretty fascinating. Fun fact: most coffee growing regions grow only a single varietal of coffee each—which literally is a result of which colonial power controlled that region at the time they were able to steal a coffee plant—while Ethiopia has many.
