Coffea canephora and Coffea arabica, the plants from which coffee beans come, are native to western sub-Saharan Africa. However, despite their origins in the same continent as the Ancient Egyptian civilization, there is no actual evidence of its spread to North African before the mid-fifteenth century CE. On the subject of tea, Camellia sinensis, from which the popular beverage is brewed, is native Southeast Asia. Tea is believed to have its origins in the Shang dynasty (1600-1046 BCE). Though there are signs of trade between Egypt and China as far back as 1070 BCE, the earliest records of tea in the West is dated to 879 CE. Herbal tea on the other hand, or tisane, has been consumed in some form or another by cultures worldwide since prehistory.
