Coffee

from A Briefer History of Everything...

Coffee is a popular beverage that has a long and rich history. The origins of coffee can be traced back to the ancient kingdoms of Ethiopia, where the coffee plant is believed to have been discovered by the ancient Abyssinians. According to legend, a goat herder named Kaldi discovered the plant when he noticed that his goats became unusually energetic after eating the berries from a certain plant. Kaldi shared his discovery with the local monks, who began to experiment with the berries and eventually created a drink made from the roasted beans.
