    This article says that both Ethiopia and Yemen claim to have discovered coffee. The Ethiopian claim is that it was discovered and brewed in Ethiopia and the Yemeni claim is that Ethiopians discovered but Yemenis brewed it. I like the Ethiopian story better but it either have no conclusive evidence

      I tend to believe the Yemeni version because of the earlier evidence, but you’re correct that neither origin is definite, and history probably will never be fully certain on the matter.
