Virtual Coffee: Books (#)

„Coffee drinkers have an innate appreciation and curiosity about every aspect of their favorite beverage. They are eager to learn about the goatherd Kaldi, the legendary discoverer of coffee, or about the enthusiasm and alarm that met the bean as it spread throughout the Old World. More recent history--such as the development of instant and decaffeinated coffees, as well as the role that coffee served as part of the bulwark of America's Cold-War policy towards Latin America--is equally appealing. And learning about modern debates over cultivation methods and marketing approaches enables drinkers to feel that they are participating in this history, not just enjoying a cup of Joe.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„The favorite bedtime story about the origin of coffee goes like this: Once upon a time in the land of Arabia Felix (or in Ethiopia, if an Ethiopian is telling the story), there lived a goatherd named Kaldi. Kaldi was a sober, responsible goatherd whose goats were also sober, if not responsible. One night, Kaldi's goats failed to come home, and in the morning he found them dancing with abandoned glee near a shiny, dark-leafed shrub with red berries. Kaldi soon determined that it was the red berries on the shiny, dark-leafed shrub that caused the goats' eccentric behavior, and soon he was dancing too.“

„Stewart Lee Allen begins with coffee's obscure beginnings as an Ethiopian religious drug. The legend goes, "an Ethiopian goatherd named Kaldi one day noticed his best goat dancing about and baaing like a maniac," and the goatherd noticed the berries the goat had eaten, ate them himself, discovered coffee, and forever altered history. This goatherd's bean gradually stimulated history through the industrial revolution and spread of capitalism through the institutions of coffeehouses. Some of the world oldest and most powerful business, such as the East India Company and Wall Street, began as coffeehouses.“

Coffee History - Learn about coffee... (#)

„One day a monk from a nearby monastery saw Kaldi dancing with his goats and inquired as to this bizarre behavior. Kaldi shared the secret of the red berries and after the monk tried them, he immediately felt a surge of energy. The story goes on from here to explain how the monk boiled the berries to make a liquid for the monks to drink so they would not fall asleep during religious prayers. The news of this magical drink spread quickly and soon all the monasteries in the kingdom were drinking it in order to spend more time praying.“

CoffeeKid - New Coffee (Kaldis), and Livia Update (#)

„This isn't the case with the most recent vendor who sent me something. Verner Earls of the KPS Espresso company recently sent me a sample pound of his Kaldi Espresso Blend. It ships in 1 way valve bags, and he sent it Priority post the day after he roasted. Now Verner was pretty boastful in his email - he said he hoped to ship me some to find out how the crema production and taste of his custom blend compares to others - "otherwise, I'll just have to keep assuming that ours is simply the best" !!“

The History Of Coffee - National Coffee Association (#)

„Kaldi dutifully reported his findings to the abbot of the local monastery who made a drink with the berries and discovered that it kept him alert for the long hours of evening prayer.  Soon the abbot had shared his discovery with the other monks at the monastery, and ever so slowly knowledge of the energizing effects of the berries began to spread.  As word moved east and coffee reached the Arabian peninsula, it began a journey which would spread its reputation the world over.“

„Yemen coffee is still produced in the simple, direct way it was hundreds of years ago, and it remains one of the finest of the world's coffees. I was curious about the Kaldi story, however, and persuaded a goatherd to bring his goats into a coffee orchard. After having set up a video camera to document this dramatic reenactment of coffee myth, I asked the goatherd to offer the goats fresh coffee branches festooned with ripe coffee fruit.“
