They did give us coffee. Thanks to them for that.

Pretty sure coffee predates that 7th Century pedophile. The use of the bean to make a beverage seems to date from about the same time as old Mo, but it was consumed in other ways prior to that time.

The plant is native to Ethiopia, not Yemen as was first supposed.
