Relive the origin
Ethiopia is the country to which we owe the spread of Arabica plants all over the world. The best-known legend about the origin of coffee tells the story of an Ethiopian shepherd called Kaldi, who bringing his goats to pasture, realized that these, after chewing some red berries, suddenly reinvigorated themselves. He tried them on himself and finding them very stimulating, he reported this discovery to the monks of the area, who after an initial resistance, obtained an infusion capable of keeping them awake during the long nights of prayer. Thanks to very favorable climatic conditions, the cultivation of coffee developed rapidly among the Ethiopian highlands and its trade followed the routes of the spice market, from the Horn of Africa it crossed the Arabian peninsula until reaching, through the important center of Constantinople, European countries.
