The Coffee Story

There is no documented history of coffee's origins. But a good legend will do. Some hundreds of years ago, about 900 AD as the story goes, an East African goat herder named Kaldi noticed that his goats seemed a little peppier after eating cherries from a coffee tree. Being curious, the goat herder tried some himself. Before long, everyone was trying it. And the coffee tree, native to Ethiopia was being planted and grown throughout the Middle East. Eventually, it spread around the world, throughout the warm, wet climates of the coffee belt, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. From a single goatherder's discovery, coffee has become one of the most widely-served beverages around the world.
