Around 1500 AD, the Sufi mystics of Yemen's Islam began to grow coffee and roast the beans to make a drink, which they consumed to enhance their spiritual experience of the religion. At that time, Yemen was the only coffee-producing place in the world, and coffee saplings were prohibited from being carried out of the country, but eventually some people secretly brought coffee saplings to other countries in the Arabian Peninsula. As a result, coffee flowed into the vast areas of Europe with the trade of goods between Arab countries and Europe, and quickly spread throughout the world. Today, coffee has become the world's traded commodity second only to oil.

The Panama hat has been in vogue since US President Roosevelt wore it to visit the Panama Canal.
