Coffee Knowledge

Origin of Coffee

Around the sixth century AD, an Arabian shepherd named Kaldi secretly observed goats while shepherding the flock, found that the goats became extremely excited after they had eaten the red fruit of a wild shrub on the hillside. Curiously, Kaldi picked the fruit himself, and after tasting it, he found that he was full of energy and was in a very happy mood. So he took the fruit and ran to a nearby monastery to tell the monks about the magical effect. However, the monk thought it was the devil's act, so he threw the red fruits into the fire, and the fruits immediately gave off a special aroma that was mouth-watering. While the leading monks were sleeping, one of the young monks collected the cooled beans, ground them into powder and poured them into a container filled with hot water, and the world's first cup of coffee was born.
