Did You Know

Legend goes that coffee was discovered after a goat herder in Ethiopia noticed that his goats became energised, and wouldn't sleep at night, after they had eaten berries from a particular tree. After sharing his discovery, drinks began to be made with these mysterious berries and the knowledge of these energising beans spread across the world.
