🐐 🐐 🐐 The Legend behind Coffee!! 🐐 🐐 🐐
An Ethiopian goat farmer named Kaldi noticed one day that his goats were getting particularly frisky and energized after munching on this strange but enticing red berry. Consumed by intrigue he nibbled on one himself, loved what he tasted and ran off to the nearest monastery to spread the good word. Luckily for us, the monks disapproved and threw these cherries into their fire from which arose the most enticing aroma imaginable. The beans were then dissolved in water and drunk and the rest as they say is history.
Whether that story is true or not is up for debate (though the common, sensible consensus indicates it’s a work of fiction) but amongst historians and coffee fanatics alike, Ethiopia is considered the birthplace of coffee.
It is in this landlocked African country where the bean truly does flourish. Over the centuries, coffee has morphed and evolved natural to develop a myriad of different flavors. When it comes to genetic diversity, Ethiopia stands head and shoulders above any other coffee growing nation.
But amongst the array of cupping profiles, they can, generally, be described as being bright, floral and exceptionally fruity.
