Examination Card 22
I. Read the text and answer the questions.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, coffee was introduced into one European country after
another, many accounts are recorded of its prohibition or approval as a religious, political; and
medical potion. Coffee gained popularity as a beverage in the London coffee houses, which
became centres of political, social, literary, and eventually business influence. The first
coffeehouse in London was established about 1652. In Europe, too, the coffeehouse flourished
later in the 17th century. In such North American cities as Boston, New York City, and
Philadelphia, coffeehouses became popular beginning in the late 1600s. Until the end of the 17th
century, the world's limited supply of coffee was obtained almost entirely from the province of
Yemen in southern Arabia. However, with the increasing popularity of the beverage, the
propagation of the plant spread rapidly to Java and other islands of the Indonesian archipelago in
the 17th century and to the USA in the 18th century. Coffee cultivation started in the Hawaiian
Islands in 1825. The greatest concentration of production was centred in the Western
Hemisphere -particularly Brazil. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, industrial roasting and
grinding machines came into use, vacuum-sealed containers were invented for ground roasts, and
decaffeination methods for green coffee beans were developed. After 1950 the production of
instant coffee was perfected. The popularity of instant coffee led to increased production of the
cheaper Robusta beans in Africa.
