FAQ Coffee in the World Appendix Excerpt: There are many legends about the introduction of coffee in the world. The most famous one, which was told mouth to ear from father to son, was published in the 18th century by the writer Banesius. It’s the tale of a shepherd (some claim his name was Kaldi), who in the 6th century A.D. noticed that on certain nights his grazing goats would leap and dance weirdly. He asked the advice of an Imam (an Islamic religious leader). The Imam decided to observe the vegetation in the grazing eld. He noticed the phenomenon occurred when the goats ate bright red berries of a certain dark-leafed shrub. The Imam gathered some of these berries, and studied them. In his experiments with the berries, he boiled them and sampled the resulting beverage. To his utmost surprise he suddenly felt vigorous and stayed awake all night without any side effects. He encouraged his followers to drink the beverage so they could pray and study long into the night. The beverage spread from town to town, and in time people learned the source of the stimulant was in the beans and began to roast and grind them. The fruit, which originated in Africa, was smuggled to other countries by visiting sailors who had also learned of its invigorating characteristics, making it popular all over the world. The Spanish conquistadors smuggled it to South America, which then became the largest coffee producer in the world. Sharing Widget |
