The history of coffee, while hard to verify to
accuracy, legend a sheepherder who realized the effects of coffee while
tending his sheep. His sheep became very active when they ate a certain
type of berry off a plant. He tried them himself, and felt the same
effect. Rumour has it that a monk told him to be careful of the devil’s
fruit. However, it is also rumoured that the monks used the fruit to
stay awake and pray.
Another wide spread legend claims an Arabian was banished to the desert.
He boiled and ate an unknown plant. He was able to survive in the desert
on the plant. The residents of a town close by felt the survival was a
religious sign. The plant was then named Mocha, after that town.
Few people realize the coffee plant originally grew only in Ethiopia.
They wrapped it in animal fat to eat while on raids. It was transported
to Arabia, it grew, and they controlled the market of it. The Turks then
were the first to drink it. They added cinnamon and clove for a sweeter
taste.
Coffee founds its way to Europe via the Venetian trade merchants.
Rumours of the taste of coffee began to surface all over. The Arab’s
keep an even tighter grip on the coffee plants. Christian’s began
claiming coffee was the devil’s drink, similar to the monk story above.
Pope Vincent III decided to try it. He enjoyed it very much. After that,
talk of banishing the drink went away.
