Coffee - Ethiopia

The story begins with a green bean hidden in the red cherry of the coffee tree - some call it magical - some even refer to it as evil. People have tried in past generations to stop this drug.
Over a thousand years ago, deep in the forest, no one really know who and when the exact time of discovery was, however, we do know that it was in Ethiopia.
Coffee still grows wild in the mountains of Ethiopia. A goat herder named Kaldi is a legend that at the end of the day he would call the goats home with his flute, much like the story of the Pied Piper. But one day - the goats did not come. To Kaldi's surprise, he found the goats running this way and that way, wild to find that they had been eating from a tree and believed that this is what must have been maddening his goats. So he decided to try the berries and he felt full of energy and excitement. Supposedly this is how coffee has come to be!
