The true history of coffee is very hard to verify.
It is often said that the effects of coffee was first experienced by a sheepherder that was tending his sheep.
His sheep became very active when they ate a certain type of berry off a plant.
The sheepherder tried the berry himself and had the same results.
It has been said that a monk told him to be careful as this berry was the fruit of the devil.
There is another rumor that monks did eat the devil’s fruit to keep them awake during long prayer sessions.
Another wide spread legend claims an Arabian was banished to the desert.
He tried boiling and eating 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 mysterious plant was named Mocha, after the town.
Few people realize the coffee plant originally grew only in Ethiopia.
They wrapped it in animal fat to eat while on raids.
Coffee was later transported to Arabia, and the Arabians began to control the coffee market.
The first to actually drink coffee as we know it today were the Turks.
They added spices such as clove and cinnamon to create a sweeter taste.
Venetian trade merchants were responsible for coffee finding its way to Europe.
