Coffee legends: monks and prayers
Wrote at 11:15 by Stefano Urso in: Gossip Café,
Everyone in the world is familiar
with the coffee beverage but, only few, have answers to questions about this drink, its
history and its social significance. There are many legends about coffee
origin: everyone should know the one from the monastery
Chehodet (Yemen) where one of the monks, having heard from a
shepherd (named Kaldi) that his goats and camels were kept "lively"
at night if they eat certain berries, prepared a drink using these barriers
with the intent to stay awake for pray longer.
