According to some botanists,the Coffee plant is indigenous to Arabia,while some think that it may have been indigenous to Abyssinia and carried from thence to Arabia.Coffee is not mentioned in the Koran.It is belived that the Arabs knew of coffee only in the 14th century and even then it was probably viewed as a medicinal plant.It is also probable that the Arabs were then only preparing a decoction from the succulent rind or pulp of the coffee-cherry,which.as it contains sugar,was liable to ferment and become alcoholic on standing for some time.It was therefore associated with wine and so the ealous followers of the Prophet discouraged the use of it.
