The earliest Arab way to eat coffee was to chew the whole fruit (Coffee Cherry) to absorb its juice. They then mixed the ground coffee beans with animal fat as a physical supplement for long trips, and it was not until about 1000 AD that the green coffee beans were boiled in boiling water to make an aromatic drink. Three centuries later, the Arabs began to bake and grind coffee beans. Because alcohol was forbidden in the Koran, Arabs consumed a lot of coffee, so religion was actually a big factor in the popularity of coffee in the Arab world.

Legend 1: the Story of the Shepherd

Legend has it that around the tenth century AD, on the Ethiopian plateau of Africa, there was a shepherd named Karl. One day he suddenly looked excited and excited when he saw the goat. He thought it was strange, and then after careful observation, he found that the sheep were excited after eating some kind of red fruit. Carl tasted some curiously, and found that he was refreshed and excited after eating, so he picked some of the incredible red fruit home and distributed it to the locals, so its magical effect spread.

Legend 2: Arab monks

Legend has it that Shek, the chief expelled by his people for crime, was deported from the mountains of Yemen in 1258. Omar, who was exiled to the remote city of Vasaba (in Arabia), when he was walking exhausted on the mountain, he found the birds on the branches making a very sweet cry after pecking at the fruit of the tree. So he boiled the fruit with water, but unexpectedly sent out a rich and attractive fragrance, and the original feeling of exhaustion was eliminated after drinking, full of vitality. Later, Omar collected many of these magical fruits, and when someone got sick, she made the fruit into soup for them to drink, refreshing them. Because he did good everywhere and was loved by believers, his sins were soon forgiven, and when he returned to Mocha, he was revered as a saint for finding this fruit. It is said that the magic cure at that time was coffee.
