The Origin of Coffee and the Legend of the Shepherd

At the beginning of the 7th century, there was a shepherd named Kaldi in Ethiopia's plateau. One day he went to graze on the new prairie and suddenly found that the sheep were jumping up and down there, so excited that they could not sleep even late at night. So he went to the Abyssinia monastery for help.

After the investigation of the abbot and monks, it was found that the goat was particularly excited after eating the red fruit from the dwarf tree, so he picked it and boiled it back. Unexpectedly, the house was full of fragrance. After drinking it, he was even more excited and could not sleep all night. As a result, the dean distributed this soup to the monks who dozed off in the evening service. They all felt refreshed and refreshed after eating it, and the effect was very good.

Later, the fruit was used as a pick-me-up medicine, and was well received by doctors, and has been widely spread ever since.
