The earliest mention of coffee noted by the literary coffee merchant Philippe Sylvestre Dufour is a reference to ''bunchum'' in the works of the 10th century CE [[Persian people|Persian]] physician [[Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi|Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi, known as Rhazes]] in the West. More definite information on the coffee tree and preparation of a beverage from the roasted coffee berries dates back to the late 15th century. The Sufi Imam Muhammad Ibn Said al-[[At Turbah|Dhabhani]] is known to have imported goods from Ethiopia to [[Yemen]]. Coffee was first exported out of Ethiopia to Yemen by Somali merchants from [[Berbera]] and [[Zeila]], which was procured from [[Harar]] and the Abyssinian interior. According to Captain Haines, who was the colonial administrator of [[Aden]] (1839–1854), [[Mocha, Yemen|Mocha]] historically imported up to two-thirds of their coffee from Berbera-based merchants before the coffee trade of Mocha was captured by British-controlled Aden in the 19th century. Thereafter, much of the Ethiopian coffee was exported to Aden via Berbera.
