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.“

„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.“

„HistoryWho discovered the refreshing nature of the coffeeberries and the delightful brew it was possible to make with the red berries is hard to say. There are several theories, like the one about the shepherd who observed that his sheep became skittish after chewing the red coffeeberries. So because of that I will give you the history of coffee according to an encyclopedia 1880, everything may not be correct but nevertheless its interesting and enjoyable.“

„It may well be the mainstay of Brazil’s economy but coffee originated in Ethiopia. According to a Muslim legend, a goatherd called Kaldi noticed that some of his goats were rather frisky after nibbling the berries from a certain tree. After trying them himself, Kaldi felt pretty perky 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.“
