It is hard to verify the true origins of coffee.
Legend has it that a sheepherder was the first to realize the effects of coffee while tending his sheep.
His sheep started to become very active after eating a mysterious berry from a plant.
The sheephearder decided to eat the berry and he experienced the same sensation.
Rumor has it that a monk told him to be careful of the devil’s fruit.
However, there is also a rumor that monks did eat the berry to help them stay awake and pray.
Another legend is that long ago, there was an Arabian man who was banished to the desert.
He tried boiling and eating an unknown plant.
He could survive in the harsh desert just by eating the plant.
Residents of a town near the desert believed that the mans survival was a message from the gods.
The plant was then named Mocha, after that town.
It is said that the coffee plant was originally found only in Ethiopia.
Ethiopian warriors used it as food while they went on raids.
Coffee was later transported to Arabia, and the Arabians began to control the coffee market.
The Turks then were the first to drink it.
They added spices such as clove and cinnamon to create a sweeter taste.
Via the Venetian trade merchants, coffee found its way to Europe.
Soon after, coffee houses started to pop up all over Europe as the beverage gained popularity.
Today, people all over the world enjoy drinking coffee throughout the day.
