Africa-the Origin of Coffee

The world's first coffee tree was found in the Horn of Africa. Local indigenous tribes often grind the fruit of coffee and knead it with animal fat to make many ball-shaped balls. These indigenous tribes use these coffee balls as precious food for soldiers who are about to go out to battle.

At that time, people did not understand what it was all about when coffee eaters showed hyperactivity-they did not know that it was caused by the irritation of coffee. Instead, people regarded it as a religious fanaticism shown by coffee eaters. I think this drink is so mysterious that it has become a special product for priests and doctors. So far, there are two main stories that reflect the process of coffee discovery.

According to one story, a sheep herdsman noticed that his sheep became extremely excited after eating the fruit of a wild coffee tree. Out of curiosity, he also tasted the coffee. After a taste, because of the role of coffee beans, he also began to dance like those banging goats. The scene that happened to the herdsmen was hit by a group of monks. As a result, whenever it was necessary to hold religious ceremonies at night, the monks boiled coffee beans into soup and drank them in this way to keep themselves awake.

Another story goes like this: a Muslim mendicant monk was driven into the desert by his enemies. In a state of insanity, he heard a sound prompting him to eat the coffee fruit around him. He put the coffee fruits in the water and wanted to soak them soft. because the coffee fruits were too hard, he did not succeed. As a last resort, he had to drink the water soaked in coffee beans. In the end, the mendicant monk survived by this means. When the mendicant monk walked out of the desert, he felt that he could survive and that the magical energy he was able to gain was the result of Allah's help. So he kept telling the story to others and introduced this method of preparing drinks to others.
