The popular legend of Kaldi and his dancing goats symbolizes the discovery of coffee. This folklore reflects Ethiopia's natural heritage and cultural connection to coffee, highlighting its role in the global spread and enduring allure of this cherished beverage.
According to the tale, Kaldi noticed that after consuming the berries, the goats would frolic and "dance" with vigor, even late into the night. Intrigued by this phenomenon, Kaldi tried the berries himself and experienced a similar burst of energy. Kaldi then shared his discovery with a local monastery, marking the beginning of coffee's association with alertness and productivity.
This book is ideal for coffee aficionados interested in the history and cultural impact of coffee.
