Coffee has thousands of history but its origin is uncertain.
There are two of the representative origins.
1 Omar legend
In 1258 Arabia, Sheik Omar was so smart that became a trial chief. One day, Omar went to Mocha village according to his teacher's will and took care of many people and cured them, based on his knowledge. Then he became to cure a princess of the village and fell in love with her. So Omar aroused king's anger and banished to a desert. He was so as tired as almost died. At that time, Omar saw birds eat some fruits like cherry so also ate them. And he felt energy and revived, so came back to Mocha. Omar spread that berry and appreciated again.
2 Kaldi legend
B.C.6-7C, Kaldi was a shepherd in Abissinia, now Ethiopia. Once, he was very tired of goats being in extremely excited and running. He founed it was because of purple fruits that goats ate. So he showed those to monk of his village. The monk said that is devil's fruits and burned out, But from the fruits that was in fire, people felt calm. And also water mixed with the burnt fruits made people vibrant. So the water was named "Kaffa" which means activate in Arabian.
