History of Coffee
A popular legend about the discovery of coffee reveals that a young goatherd named Kaldi noticed his goats, after chewing the bright red berries from a tree, pranced excitedly. He too tasted the berry and enjoyed its stimulating effect. A monk, who found Kaldi in his invigorated state, tried the berries with his brethren. They all felt alert during their long prayers at night. Soon, the news spread across the region and all the monks of the realm were chewing the berry before their night prayer. It was, as a result, accepted as a stimulant drink.
Researchers and historians have, as well, repeatedly confirmed that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. Etymologists authenticate that the word "coffee" is derived from "Kaffa", a major coffee growing region where the plant was first discovered in the south western part of the country.
