Once upon a time long long ago somewhere in Ethiopia grew few mysterious plants that bore strange fruits. A sheperd boy called KALDI noticed his sheep turning hyperactive after eating them and experienced himself and soon the monks of the area used it to stay awake for Prayers.There is evidence to suggest that coffee beans were used to make a primitive "energy bar" before they were actually brewed as a hot drink. Sometime between 575AD and 850AD, a nomadic mountain tribe known as Galla, used to mix ground coffee with ghee.
ArabiaNs DIscovered the plant when an arabian traveller survived after being lost in a desert, thanks to the coffee plant. the first TowN to hear of his miraculous escape was called MOcha(Ever tried Mocha.....:) . SOOn the arabians monopolised coffee farming.The Turks were the first country to adopt it as a drink, often adding spices such as clove, cinnamon, cardamom and anise to the brew. Banned by some, promoted by some but coffee ensured that it was loved by all.
