The Legends of coffe
There are many legends about the discovery of the stimulating effects of coffee.
One of the oldest tells that in the year 850, a shepherd in Ethiopia, was noticed that after eating a certain type of berry, his goats got very active and restless.
Then some monks tried to prove this fruit but it wasn´t what they expected by its bitter flavor so they threw it on fire. Shortly thereafter, they felt a delicious aroma in the vicinity. The monks intrigued by curiosity roasted fruit used to prepare a drink they conceived as a gift from God because it helped them keep awake at night.
