What are the legends about Ethiopian coffee?

Ethiopia (Ethiopia) in East Africa is the origin of coffee. There is a historical story about coffee found in Ethiopia.

In the mountains of the Qima region of southwestern Ethiopia, called kaffa, there is a wild shrub bearing small red fruits. A shepherd kept making noise when he found that his goats had eaten the bush fruit. As a result, he also curiously took some off and chewed it in his mouth, and soon felt excited, because he chewed too much and he was in a state of ecstasy. When the news reached a nearby Orthodox monastery, a group of monks chewed with curiosity and had the same effect. So monks from all sides came to pick and chew this extraordinary "magic" little red fruit, so excited that they could not sleep for a long time, thus affecting their normal religious activities. So the church regarded the small red fruit as a "devil bean" and banned its followers from eating it. Therefore, for a long time after coffee was discovered, Ethiopians did not eat coffee and did not know how to make coffee and tea.

When coffee was first discovered, the wild shrub had no name. The local people named him after the "Kafa" where he grew up. In the future, the name of "coffee" in the world evolved from "Kafa".

Coffee spread abroad from Ethiopia around the 15th century. From the great bazaar in Gundel, the ancient capital of Ethiopia, merchants carried coffee beans northwest to Sudan, to Egypt and Mediterranean countries, and eastward across the Red Sea to Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula. People in the Middle East call it "Arabica Coffee" and have been widely drunk since then. Later, it spread to the far East and finally across the Pacific Ocean to the American continent. Now, Brazil is the new largest producer of coffee. The United States also has the largest Ethiopian Arabica coffee market.
