Coffee grew wild on the Arabian Peninsula, where it was first developed into a hot drink in the 11th century.
People began cultivating coffee which had a mystical reputation like that of chocolate about 400 years later. For hundreds of years, most of the world of coffee came from the Middle East. Eventually,
however, travelers smuggled coffee plants throughout the world.
Europeans fell in love with coffee in Venice, where it joined perfumes, fabrics and other Middle Eastern imports.
Trade ships brought coffee plants to colonies in the New World, where they and love of the drink took root. Modern coffee regions now include Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the
Pacific Rim.
Likewise, coffee is enjoyed the world over, with different nations and cultures putting their own personalities into the drink. Whether you prefer a robust dark roast, sophisticated
smoothness, classic flavor or even special flavor-burst creamers, you can indulge your taste with Pilot’s gourmet flavor.
