Yemen, the country where coffee originated from. Then (1998) most of the agricultural soil was used to produce qat. When chewed it creates (like coca leaves) a heightened state of being 
. I chewed it once in 1998. It turned out to be bitter and it did not get me high: instead it did keep me out of my sleep till late at night! Here, near Manakah, some qat plants in the upcoming sun.
