Coffee has had many colorful stories about how it was discovered. The most popular origin of coffee story is of a goat herd who noticed his usually sluggish goats cavorting around after eating the red berries from a dark green tall shrub. The goat herd took some of the berries home and tried these as well as gave some to his neighbors and monks in the nearby monastery. The monks experimented with the berries and eventually found that scorching the beans and grinding them created a heavenly brew that was capable of keeping them alert and awake for some time.
