Coffee beans were first discovered in the Ethiopian highlands by a goat herder named Kaldi. According to legend, he noticed that his goats became energetic and stayed awake all night after consuming the red cherries from a particular tree. Curious, Kaldi tried the cherries himself and experienced a similar burst of energy. This discovery of coffee laid the foundation for its future popularity.

This cultural phenomenon laid the groundwork for the concept of enjoying coffee in a social setting.
