Coffee
Many people would agree that coffee tastes amazing, but do you know coffee's history?
Coffee grown worldwide can trace its heritage back centuries to the
ancient coffee forests on the Ethiopian plateau. There, legend
says the goat herder Kaldi first discovered the potential of these
beloved beans.
The story goes that that Kaldi discovered coffee after he noticed
that after eating the berries from a certain tree, his goats became so
energetic that they did not want to sleep at night.
Kaldi reported his findings to the abbot of the local monastery, who
made a drink with the berries and found that it kept him alert through
the long hours of evening prayer. The abbot shared his discovery with
the other monks at the monastery, and knowledge of the energizing
berries began to spread.
As word moved east and coffee reached the Arabian peninsula, it began
a journey which would bring these beans across the globe.
