The origin and history of coffee

This story can be traced back to the 6th century AD, when a shepherd, Cardet, found that his sheep became very noisy after eating the fruit of a wild shrub, so he was curious and tasted it.

He was very excited after eating this fruit. This is the origin of coffee. Later, local people began to try to chew coffee beans and drink them with brewed coffee.
