A historical trade region on the Black Sea coast (in present-day Crimea), or coffee, particularly in historical or Turkish contexts.
From Genoese/Italian Caffa, referring to the major medieval trading port. The name has uncertain ultimate origins but was used throughout the Mediterranean for both the place and, by extension, the coffee trade that made it famous.
Caffa was the crucial connecting point between East and West—goods, ideas, and eventually coffee flowed through this single port, making it one of history's most important cultural hubs before modern times.
