Today in the 21st century, "coffee" is popular all over the world as one of the three major drinks in the world. For many countries, coffee is not only a daily drink, but also a local cultural symbol. Just as different countries have different characteristics of coffee, the legend of the origin of coffee has different contents because of the different writers. There are many theories about the origin of coffee, although most of them are not true, but it is not impossible to read these stories. So today, what Qianjie wants to share is the "theory of the origin of coffee", which is widely spread everywhere. Because there are too many, Qianjie chooses three of the more famous ones to share with you.

Coffee shepherd boy said

This is the most widespread and long-held belief in the origin of coffee in Europe, written by the Roman linguist Antoine Faustus Nairon: around 700 AD, a child named Kaldi in Ethiopia worked as a shepherd, leading sheep through the mountains every day to find food. Suddenly one day, he found that the sheep were very excited, jumping about and running around. Even some older sheep and sick sheep are very active and in high spirits. So he began to explore the reason. In the end, it was found that the symptoms occurred because the sheep ate some unseen red fruits. As a result, he also picked a few attempts, never thought that the fruit was sour and sweet and delicious, and it was not long before the body dissipated weariness and regained its vitality. So every day after that, he would follow the sheep everywhere to pick fruit and eat and entertain himself.

Until one day, an elder of a nearby mosque passed by and saw that Kadi and the sheep were very energetic, as if they were possessed with evil spirits, so he came forward and asked what happened. After Kadi had informed him of the effectiveness of the fruit, the elder doubted and tried to pick it. Like Cuddy, he regained his vitality and full of vitality after swallowing it, which left a good impression on him.

On this night, the elder returned to the mosque to pray, and the sudden drowsiness let the elder go straight to sleep. In the dream, the Muslim prophet Muhammad suddenly entrusted a dream, in which the prophet instructed the elders to dispel drowsiness and regain consciousness immediately by boiling and drinking the red fruit of the day. The elders are exactly the same after doing it! Since then, Muslims will drink the boiled juice of these fruits before praying at night in order to dispel drowsiness and stay awake. As the efficacy became more and more widespread, the drink called "Kawa" spread everywhere, and Kadi was also known as the first person to discover coffee.

This is the whole content of "Coffee Shepherd Boy". Although full of loopholes, but for a long time, many people believed in this legend.

Another legend of the exiled Shack Omar is also widely spread: the legend tells of a Muslim imam-Shack Omar in the port of Mocha. Because he helped so many people in the area, it led to the envy of Governor Mocha, fearing that Omar would surpass him in popularity. So he exiled Omar to the remote mountains of the country, leaving him to fend for himself. When he was looking for food in the mountains one day, he found the red fruit on the unknown tree, so he took it back as food. It was found that the seeds in the fruit were too big and hard to swallow. So he baked the seed over fire, scorched it, and boiled it in water until it was taken. Unexpectedly, this pot of black water unexpectedly exudes an attractive aroma, and after taking it, the sense of fatigue dissipates completely and is full of vitality. So Omar picked this magical red fruit every day, and whenever she met someone who was sick and tired, she would bake the fruit and boil it until it was taken in water, and then it would quickly remove tiredness and refresh itself.

Because Shack Omar was famous for his good deeds everywhere, the mocha crowd greeted him back to Mocha in order to thank him. When he returned to Mocha, he still carried out the charity of hanging pots with coffee, and was eventually called the patron saint of mocha and coffee by the local people. This legend comes from Yemen in the 15th century, the story of Shake Omar, the prototype is the Muslim imam "Shadeli" who grew up in Mocha.

Third, although the spread of the Ethiopian civets is not high, the last one is more practical, because the time, characters, places and characters in the story are very consistent with the reality (but still listen to it): according to legend, coffee seeds were brought by civets in central Africa to the mountains of Ethiopia, where coffee seeds took root. Because it is the territory of the Gella people, it is only natural for the Gella people to discover the effect of this red fruit. The Gayla people are very resourceful. In order to get a lot of fruit, they began to cultivate coffee trees.

When the coffee tree bears fruit, the Gayla people take out the coffee beans, roast them, break them into pieces, mix the animal fat, stir them into balls and put them in a bag. Because of the addition of animal fat and coffee beans, this ball can not only refresh the mind, but also can be used to satisfy hunger. If you take one in advance before each battle, you can maintain a steady stream of physical strength all day. The efficacy of the latter fruit was known by the Yemenis, so the coffee seeds were taken by the Yemenis to Yemen to be planted. Then the coffee was spread by the Yemenis and carried forward. In addition to these stories, there are a lot of coffee legends. If you are interested, you can check them out. Qianjie won't share too much here.
