Coffee trees continue to grow in the Ethiopian highlands. The
legend of Kaldi originated here in the Ethiopian highlands.
There might be some truth to the Kaldi legend, although we will
probably never know for certain.
The legend is that it is said Kaldi discovered coffee after
noticing that his goats became extremely spirited after eating
berries from a certain tree – no doubt this was the "coffee
tree." They became so highly spirited or you might say
"agitated" as coffee sometimes makes some humans a bit agitated
or stimulated, that the goats did not want to sleep at night.
Kaldi was dedicated and loyal to the abbot of the local
monastery and promptly reported his findings. The local
monastery made a drink with the berries. He discovered the drink
made from the berries of no doubt "the coffee tree," kept him
alert in the long hours of evening prayers. It was not long
until the abbot shared his discovery with the other monks at the
monastery. Very slowly, the knowledge about the energizing
effects of the berries began to spread throughout the region and
on into the east until coffee reached the Arabian Peninsula. At
this point coffee began a journey that spread its reputation all
over the world.
We can all trace our heritage of coffee to the trees in the
ancient coffee forests of the Ethiopian highlands. Whether you
live in Asia, Africa, Central or South American, the islands of
the Caribbean or Pacific or the United States, coffee can be
found growing in areas all around the world.
The first to cultivate coffee and begin its trade were the
Arabs. In the fifteenth century, coffee could be found growing
in the Yemeni district of Arabia and on into the sixteenth
century coffee became known in Persia, Egypt, Syria and Turkey.
It may have become so popular because the Muslims forbid the
alcoholic drink by the Koran. The Muslims found coffee's
energizing abilities to be an acceptable substitute for the
alcoholic drink.
Coffee was drunk in homes and public coffee houses, which were
called "gahveh khaneh." These coffee houses began to appear in
cities across the Near East. There was nothing quite like these
coffee houses for people to gather in for all kinds of social
activity. They would drink coffee, talk with each other, listen
to music, watch performers, and play chess and tune into the
most recent news of the day.
In the short time of 100 years, coffee established itself as a
profitable crop throughout the world. Some crops prospered while
others did not. Fortunes were made and lost. New nations became
established on coffee economies.
By the end of the 18th century, coffee had become one of the
world's most profitable crops.
