Q. Which among the following country is considered to be the Origin of Coffee Plant?
Answer: Ethiopia
Notes: Ethiopia is often regarded as the birthplace of coffee. Legend has it that a goat herder named Kaldi discovered coffee when he noticed that his goats became unusually energetic after eating the berries from a certain tree. He tried the berries himself and experienced a similar burst of energy. These berries were coffee cherries, and this discovery eventually led to the cultivation and consumption of coffee. The coffee plant, scientifically known as Coffea, is native to the region that includes Ethiopia, and it has been grown and consumed there for centuries before spreading to other parts of the world.
