Our full story
The Legend of Kaldi:
The most famous story about the origins of coffee comes from the 9th century. According to legend, Kaldi was a young goat herder who noticed that his goats became more energetic after eating berries from a certain shrub. Curious, Kaldi tried the berries himself and found that they gave him a similar burst of energy. Ethiopia, often referred to as the "birthplace of coffee," has a long ancient history with this cherished beverage. According to legend, it was a goat herder named Kaldi who discovered the energizing effects of coffee after noticing how his goats became more lively and active after consuming the cherries from a certain tree. He shared his discovery with a local monk, who found that brewing the berries helped him stay awake during long hours of prayer. The monk then shared this discovery with other monks, and the knowledge of coffee began to spread. While the details of this story are debated, it is widely accepted that coffee's journey to the world began in Ethiopia. This discovery eventually led to the cultivation and widespread consumption of coffee in Ethiopia and beyond. It has become an integral part of the Ethiopian identity and a source of national pride. Coffee is deeply ingrained in Ethiopian culture and holds immense cultural significance playing a central role in social gathering, ceremonies, and daily life. Traditional coffee ceremonies are a significant part of Ethiopian social life. These ceremonies involve the roasting, grinding, and brewing of coffee beans in a traditional clay pot called a "jebena." The process is often accompanied by the burning of frankincense (Etan), creating a sensory experience that is both aromatic and visually captivating. The coffee is brewed and served in small cups, with multiple rounds of coffee being offered to guests as a sign of hospitality and friendship.
