The First to Try Coffee in the World Was a Sheep!

The story begins in the highlands of Ethiopia, where a shepherd was watching over his flock. He noticed that the sheep were exhibiting unusually lively behavior as if brimming with energy. Whenever one of the sheep wandered off for a while and then returned, it displayed peculiar actions and movements. Curious, the shepherd decided to follow them to uncover the reason behind this behavior.

As he observed, he found that the sheep were eating a peculiar type of berry. Driven by curiosity, the shepherd decided to try the berries himself and soon felt an unusual surge of energy, as if his mind had been awakened. Following that experience, he began uniquely using the berries and gradually discovered that they contained components that enhanced vigor and concentration.

Thus, this tale marks the beginning of the journey towards the discovery of coffee, which later became one of the most popular beverages in the world.
