At present, coffee has become an indispensable drink in our lives, but in the long journey of looking for coffee, we seem to feel the endless romance of people's enthusiasm and adventure. How on earth did coffee, quietly grown in the depths of the quiet forest, be discovered and widely accepted all over the world? And how did it start to grow? Among the countless legends of coffee discovery, are there two great legends that are the most enjoyable? Is that the Story of the Shepherd and the Arab Monk? The former is the Christian discovery theory, and the latter is the Islamic theory?

The Story of the Shepherd

There was a shepherd in Ethiopia in the 16th century. One day he found his sheep bouncing and bouncing. He thought it was very strange. After careful observation, he realized that the sheep had eaten only one kind of red fruit. So he took the fruit and distributed it to the monks in the monastery, all of whom felt refreshed after eating it. It is said that the fruit was used as a pick-me-up medicine and was well received by doctors.

Arab monks

In 1258, Shek Omar, the chief expelled by his people for crime, was too hungry and tired to walk any longer when he wandered to Vasaba (in Arabia), far from his hometown of Mocha. When he was resting on the root of a tree, he found a bird coming and perched on the branch, singing in a melodious voice he had never heard before.

When he looked closely, he found that the bird opened its throat and made a wonderful cry after pecking at the fruit on the branch, so he picked all the fruit in the area and boiled it with water. After that, he began to exude a strong fragrance. After drinking it, he not only felt good, but also felt tired physically and mentally. So he picked many of these magical fruits and brought them soup to drink whenever there were patients. finally, because of his good deeds everywhere, the people in his hometown forgave him for his sins, let him go back to Mocha, and respected him as a "saint".

A romantic story

One of the most romantic stories about coffee is about Gabriel Mateer de Klee, a French naval officer on the island of Matinique. When he was about to leave Paris, he managed to get some coffee trees and decided to take them back to Martinique.

That's about 1720 or I723. He may also have traveled back and forth twice, because the first inoculation did not survive. To be sure, de Klee eventually set sail from Nantes with one of the best saplings that had been carefully cared for. The saplings are kept in a glass box on the deck, which can prevent sea water from splashing and keep warm.
