Humans have been consuming coffee for centuries. There are many rumors and stories that tell the tale of coffee’s discovery, but the most favored legend is one of an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi, in about 800 AD. He noticed that his goats were consuming red berries from a particular tree, and when they did, their energy levels drastically increased. He eventually tried the berries, and experienced a burst of energy himself. Kaldi's discovery eventually led to the cultivation of coffee in the region.
Coffee is now the second most-traded commodity in the world, and it’s no surprise, once you start learning about the health benefits of high-quality, properly and ethically-sourced coffee.
