The coffee tree has a long history, no one knows exactly when coffee was discovered, but legend says the goat herder in Kafffa (Ethiopian plateau) first discovered these coffee beans in 1671, after feeding the berries to his goats, they became so energetic and ran all night. The goat herder reported his findings to the monks of the local monastery. They made a drink with the berries and found that it kept them awake for a long time. Since then, knowledge of the coffee beans began to spread.
In Vietnam, the Arabica coffee was first introduced around 1857 by French missionaries and experimentally grown in monasteries in some areas of the Northern Region such as Phu Ly, Ha Nam. Later on, the coffee trees were found to grow well in Thanh Hoa, Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces, then continue to spread to the central provinces such as Quang Tri, Quang Binh. The coffee trees were gradually developed into the South Central Highlands & the Southeast Region. Later, Tay Nguyen, the central Highlands region, was discovered to have ideal conditions for coffee cultivation, especially Robusta coffee.
After the Arabica coffee bean was brought to Vietnam around 1857, in 1908, the French brought in two new varieties which were the Robusta and Liberica beans. After a while, the Westerners found that the Arabica coffee did not generate great economical returns, therefore they brought the Robusta bean from Congo and planted in the Central Highlands where the climate provided optimal coffee-growing conditions. The area of coffee trees was then increasing and the Central Highlands has quickly become the largest region of Robusta coffee plantation in the country. Robusta coffee products have been well known as a symbol of pride for the people of the Central Highlands in general and Gia Lai in particular.
