Do you know coffee culture?

Origins of Coffee

Coffee was discovered in Ethiopia and was originally consumed whole. It was discovered by chance by a herder who was walking with his goats. He notices his goats eating the berries and thinks they are poisonous, so naturally he becomes worried about his goats. Curious about what goats eat, he tried one of the berries himself and noticed that it had a strong, persistent flavor, that of coffee.

The herder took the coffee cherries back to his friends and family, excited about his new discovery. Exposing the berries to everyone led to a chain reaction of tasting and further exploration of the coffee tree and its beans.

Legend says that Arab traders in Yemen brought coffee beans back to their respective countries from Ethiopia. These traders planted their own coffee trees from the seeds they brought back.
