Q1.
The first mentioning of coffee goes as far back as the ninth century. At first, coffee remained
largely confined to Ethiopia, where its native beans were first cultivated. But the Arab world began
expanding its trade horizons, and the beans moved into northern Africa and were mass-
produced. From there, the beans entered the Indian and European markets, and the popularity of
the beverage spread.
D) From local use to international trade
Q2.
While processing, a coffee bean absorbs heat, and the color shifts from green to yellow and then to
varying shades of brown. Depending on the color, the beans are labeled from light to very dark.
Darker beans are generally smoother, because they have less fiber content and the flavor is more
sugary. Lighter beans have more caffeine, which result in a slight bitterness, and a stronger flavor.
