How was coffee born?

 

According to legend, beans (of coffee) were first observed by an astute shepherd in eastern Ethiopia. He noticed that the sheeps eating the berries of certain shrubs (little trees) were more playful, energetic and agitated. Eventually, he tasted some of berries and felt an euphoria never experienced before. Thus was coffee born!

Then, how coffee evolded in the world?

First of all people would eat fresh “berries” to experience the affect of caffeine. Then the shrub was brought over the Red Sea to Yemen in 525 AD (Anno Domini), where it grew on certain locations with sufficient water. At first, coffee beans were used as medication, and for religious purposes by priests. And today, coffee is become one of the most popular non-alcoholic beverages of the world.

Furthermore the word coffee is derived from Arabic qahwa.
