In the first coffee monograph "healthy drinks" (De Saluberrima potione) in 1671, Antonio popular Friar Antonio Fausto Naironi told the legend of the Ethiopian shepherd Kaldi. One night Cody's sheep did not come back from the ranch, so he went out to look for them. The next day he found them bouncing and munching beans by a clump of green trees full of bright red fruit. The shepherd was intrigued by the strange behavior of the sheep, so he tasted the wild fruit and found it very exciting. Cody therefore embarked on a long journey to the Chehodet Monastery in Yemen at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula to tell the monk what he had found. One cleric said: "this is the devil!" Throw these red fruits into the fire, and the fruit immediately emits a mouthwatering special aroma. They then collected the beans, ground them into powder and poured them into containers filled with hot water, and the world's first cup of coffee came out. The monk found that this bitter dark drink kept them awake and focused on prayer.

Some of Omar's patients followed him into the desert in order to continue their treatment, and the plant must have helped their condition. When the exiles returned to their hometown of Mocha, they told others about the magical properties of the new drink. The locals built a temple in memory of Omar and regarded him as the patron saint of the city.

In addition, Sufi followers (ascetic monks living in the Yemeni desert in southern Arabia) are also said to be familiar with the refreshing drink. They hold religious ceremonies to celebrate the glory of Allah, sometimes lasting more than 700 nights, during such long gatherings, they drink coffee to stay awake. Devout believers also enjoy coffee with friends during the day and enjoy the refreshing effects of caffeine, and the first caf é s were born.
