Coffee (ቡና or "Bunna"_from Bunne meaning brown in the native language) originated from Kaffa, Ethiopia in the 15th century A.D. and fyi the coffee there is still the best one produced in the world.

I knew the local goatherders (I thought Ethiopia, but close to Yemen) used to chew the beans to get energy. But I thought it was Arabs who ground it down to make a drink.

Coffee isn't originated in Yemen, but in Ethiopia, then crossed the red sea and become widely used by sufis. The Kafa region in Ethiopia first cultivated Coffee, where is believed the name of Coffee come from.
