Origination of Coffee

Coffee’s history is literally as rich as its brew! Its origins can be traced back to current-day Ethiopia around the year 1400 BC. It is in that year that the infamous tale of Kaldi’s goats came to be. A Yemenese shepherd, on his daily walk, observed several goats eating reddish berries from a bush. After a short time they became restless and excited. Amazed, he immediately reported the incident to the local monk. The latter took a sampling of the berries, boiled them, and distilled a bitter black beverage. He found it “rich in strength, and capable of dispersing sleep and weariness.”
