Birth of Coffee

They came up with the idea of drying and boiling the cherries to make a beverage, hence the birth of coffee. | An old legend states that coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia in AD 850 by a herdsman named Kaldi. | Upon further observation, he found the goats eating what appeared to be red berries (coffee cherries). | Kaldi also ate the berries. After experiencing a similar feeling of elation and energy, he brought the berries to local monks. | While in his field one day, he caught sight of his goats acting excitedly near a bush.
