The History and development of the beverage called "coffee" has come from 1,300 years of violence, piracy, pilgrims, warriors, smugglers and politics, which contributed to a cup of your cappuccino being what it is today.
Most popular is the Legend of Kaldi, a third century monk and a goat herder living in Ethiopia. He happened to notice that his goats would get hyperactive after eating the red cherries from a certain plant. He tried a few himself and was soon as overactive as his herd. Hearing about Kaldi's new fruit, other monks were said to use it to keep them awake during long hours of praying.
A few hundred years later, coffee crossed the Red Sea to Arabia. Wherever the Islam traveled, coffee went to - North Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean, and India.
