Ancient myth has it that a Ethiopian Goatherd noticed something particularly strange happening among his goats. He noticed that his flock “two or three times a week not only kept awake all night long, but spent it frisking and dancing in an unusual manner”. He went to where the goats were eating during the day and noticed berries on several of the scrubs. He decided to try these berries himself. Having boiled the berries in water and drunk the brew, the goatherd noticed that he was able to stay up all night with no ill effects. The berries he found were the coffee beans that we enjoyed in our daily brew.
