The history of coffee dates back centuries to the ancient coffee forests in Ethiopia. The legend states that a goat herder, Kaldi, first discovered the essence of these incredible beans. Kaldi brought to light the magic of the coffee bean when he saw his goats becoming very energetic after eating the beans on an Ethiopian Plateau. The goats became so active that they could not sleep at night.
