Jared Diamond explains in "Guns, Germs & Steel" that coffee beans were first domesticated in what's currently Ethiopia, yes, and from there it spreaded through Eurasia via de Fertile Crescent.
Does that fact have anything to do with the battle between Starbucks and Ethiopian local coffee producers around the right of using the names of the different local coffee beans?
