Hello! Welcome to my café~J Until now, I explained about tea! Today I’ll explain about the
coffee.
Coffee bean which produced from coffee trees is roasted for a
certain period of time, finely crushed and extracted the ingredients by using
water. Coffee is the drink that made by this process. Coffee was called ‘gahwa’
in Arabia, ‘Kahve’ in Turkey, ‘’café’ in
Europe and ‘Arabia wine’ in the UK. Coffee get current name since Sir Henry
Blunt, coffee lover started calling ‘coffee’.
The most famous origin of coffee is ‘set of Kaldi’. Ethiopian
shepherd boy Kaldi saw his goat hopping around in excited state. Since then, he
looked at the behavior of the goats. Kaldi who closely observed the goats few
days found that goat are extremely excited after eating the red fruit of any
tree in the field. He became curious about the ingredients and the tastes of
its fruit, and ate the fruit. He feel the fatigue disappear and ecstasy after
eating the fruit. Straight, he announced this fact to the priest in the nearby
temple. Priests found that red berries chase sleep and this fact was spread
several temples.
The second origin of the coffee is ‘Omar’s discovery’. The priest of
Arabia, Sheik Omar was deported to the mountain because of his mistake in 1258.
He wandered the way a couple of days. He was so hungry that he ate the red
berries that a bird was pecking. Omar who eat that fruits regained the vigor
and knew the effectiveness of this fruits. After this, he used this fruits in
the treatment of many people and was esteemed as a saint.
The third origin of the coffee is ‘Ethiopian origins’. Ethiopia ,
unlike in other regions that extracted in liquid form and used coffee as
medicine, treated coffee like a food by crushing the fruit of the coffee tree
with other grains. This coffee beans increasingly reached out to various areas
to the Arabian.


These are interesting legends about the origin of coffee. It's fun to learn about the various ways it might have come to be.
