It was mentioned that the monks roasted and then brewed grains brought from Ethiopia. Later, Yemenis began to grow these plants in their homeland. Later, Baba Budan smuggled out some seeds on his chest, and since then the coffee tree began to be grown in Mysore, and even later – in Italy, Spain and other European countries, from where coffee later came to America and Indonesia.

Today, the coffee tree is grown in more than 50 countries of the world, the leaders of which are Brazil and Colombia.
