The origin of coffee

Coffee is one of the three most popular drinks in the world. There are different legends about the origin of coffee. Here I would like to introduce three of the most representative stories.

The Story of the Shepherd

Around the 6th century AD, on the highlands of Ethiopia in Africa, the shepherd Kaldi suddenly noticed that the sheep were frantically noisy. After many explorations, he found that every time the sheep ate the fruit of a wild shrub, they would be excited. He also picked and tasted curiously and danced with joy. This kind of fruit is coffee. As a result, the local people began to try to chew coffee beans and drink coffee with water. This atmosphere began to travel to Arabia by Ethiopia, which quickly captivated sentient beings and became a typical drink in Muslim countries.

The Story of Shack Omar

Shack, a disciple of Sheckaldi, the guardian saint of the Arabian Peninsula. Omar was a highly respected and beloved chief in Moka, but was expelled by his people for committing crimes. As a result, Shake Omar was exiled to Osama in the country, where he stumbled upon the fruit of coffee in 1258. One day, Omar was walking hungrily in the mountains and saw a bird with strange feathers on the branches, pecking at the fruit of the tree and making a very sweet cry.

He took the fruit back and boiled it with water, only to emit a rich and attractive fragrance, and the original feeling of tiredness was eliminated after drinking it. Omar collected many of these magical fruits, and when she met someone who was sick, she made the fruit into soup for them to drink and refreshed her spirit. Because he did good everywhere and was loved by believers, his sins were soon forgiven, and when he returned to Mocha, he was praised for finding this fruit, and people did not worship him as a saint. At that time, the magic cure was said to be coffee.
