A Quick History Of Coffee

.

By Lee Reid

The original history of drinking coffee is difficult to verify.

The legend is that long ago, a sheepherder realized the effects of coffee while tending his sheep.

His sheep started to become very active after eating a mysterious berry from a plant.

The sheepherder tried the berry himself and had the same results.

Rumor has it that a monk told him to be careful of the devil's fruit.

However, there is also a rumor that monks did eat the berry to help them stay awake and pray.

Another story is that an Arabian man was given a sentence of banishment to the desert.

He boiled and ate an unknown plant.

He was fortunate enough to survive by eating the unknown plant.

Residents of a town near the desert believed that the mans survival was a message from the gods.

The mysterious plant was named Mocha, after the town.

It is said that the coffee plant was originally found only in Ethiopia.

Ethiopians wrapped it in animal fat and used it as food while on raids.

It was transported to Arabia, it grew, and they controlled the market of it.

The Turks then were the first to drink it.

The Turks added clove and cinnamon to the coffee to create a sweet taste.

Via the Venetian trade merchants, coffee found its way to Europe.

Soon after, coffee houses started to pop up all over Europe as the beverage gained popularity.

Today, millions of people enjoy their coffee throughout the day.

With all of the flavors and blends of coffee to enjoy, I suggest you try a cup today!

If you are looking for great deals for coffee and coffee makers, give the net a try.

You can find net shops that have deals that are almost always better than those found at your neighborhood shopping mall. When it is time for you to buy, I suggest that you take a few minutes and do a look up on the net first.

Searching on the net allows you the opportunity to easily compare prices, so you can be sure that you are getting the best possible deal for your money.

One of the best parts of net shopping is that you will be able to locate those rare or hard to find brands of coffee that you can't seem to find anywhere else. - 20763
