Historical Background: The Origin of Coffee
The history of coffee dates back to the ancient lands of Ethiopia, where, according to legend, in the 9th century, a goat herder named Kaldi noticed the extraordinary vigor of his goats after they ate red berries from an unknown tree. This discovery led to the beginning of coffee bean cultivation and its spread around the world.
Interesting Fact: Originally, coffee was not consumed as a beverage, but in the form of nutritious balls, mixing ground berries with animal fat, which provided energy to warriors and travelers.
