Legend says the goat herder Kaldi noticed that after eating some berries from a certain tree, his goats became so excited that they did not want to sleep at night. Kaldi reported his findings to the abbot of the local monastery, who made a drink with the berries, and found that it kept him alert through the long hours of evening prayer. The abbot shared his discovery with the other monks at the monastery, and knowledge of the invigorating berries began a journey which would bring these beans across the globe.
