Anyone know where is coffee come from?
Is kind of like a surprise for me having this question after drinking coffee for sometime! You know is really embarrassed when someone asks you about where is the coffee come from and how was coffee beans being discovered?
If I answer I don't know, it just appeared! I am not the coffee addict-er:) So for today's topic, we are going to have a journey adventure - coffee's origin!
Most of the people and book will suggest Ethiopia is the place where coffee comes from! It is because the places, weather and climate is best fit coffee trees to grow! Three myths that I heard and read about that people well-known!
Abul Hasan Ash-Shadhili
Influential scholar who once traveled to a place in Ethiopia, and somehow attracted by the birds. They moved around happily, like having unlimited energy! Trying to search for reasons, he found out that the small little red fruit, after drying have such a huge impact to our body!
Omar
Having a mentality training in the forest, he accidentally discovered the berries. As he was so hungry and really needed some food and drinks; he cooked it (Doesn't know what utility he was using) He discovered consuming the berries were safe and relieved his tired body!
Kaldi
Goat herder, who likes music and the nature of beauty, one day when he was calling the sheep to come back with his song, no one came! He wondered why and so seeking for the reason, he arrived to the location that sheep usually hang around. Discovered the red berries that never tried before, the sheep were so excited with energy jumping all around him. After a long observation and the discussion with the monks, they discovered the coffee they we are drinking:)
I like coffee not only because of the atmosphere it brings to me, but also in connecting people around me! It creates a unique environment for us to communicate outside from work and pressure! Culture conversation is important, and that is why when I was traveling in another country; I sit in the cafe for a whole afternoon so that I get to talk to the owner, the barista and local inside the cafe.
Hope you guys enjoy my post and I will see you guys next time :)
