Legend has it, that it all started in the coffee forests of Ethiopia, around 800 AD. A goat herder noticed that when his goats ate the berries from the Coffea plant, they appeared to ‘dance’, becoming so energetic, they did not want to sleep at night. He chewed on the berries himself and found he felt more exhilarated. He reported this phenomenon to a monk at a local monastery. The monk in a fit, through them into a fire. An enticing aroma came from the fire, and when the monks came to investigate, they raked the now roasted berries out. The Monks then made a drink from the ground up roasted berries.
