I don't know who discovered coffee but you can thank the rebel American colonists for making it so popular by refusing to buy or drink the King's tea.

So basically, you guys are telling me that all the coffee I drink is actually a PATRIOTIC act! GO USA! How all American of me. While we are thanking those who figured out beans, what about that first guy who said- hey this cacao bean could be used for something. Hmmmmm..... chocolate!

Discovery of coffee- a man called Rhozes who is a Arabian Doctor, mentions it as a medicine. It comes from about 900 BC.

The legend of Kaldi tells you the story of Kaldi the goatherd. He lived in Ethiopia about 300 AD. Kaldi once noticed that after his work the goats were eating berries and that is how they discovered coffee. Goats had been eating red berries from a tree, the tree gives you energy by the berries. He told some monks who lived nearby about this, and they used the berries in a drink to help them stay awake at night.


As for chocolate:
The Spaniards had learned its use from the Aztecs at the time of the invasion by the Spanish explorer Hernán Cortés in 1519. Cortés tasted chocolate prepared by the Aztecs and learned how to convert the bitter bean into a wonderful drink. He brought this treasure back to Spain where the origin and preparation method remained a secret for nearly 100 years.

I like that story better. I'm glad I don't need an RX for coffee though. Thanks Peggy.

Diet coke is a great discovery also.

I love coffee. I can't drink it late in the afternoon or it will keep me awake. So, my favorite treat on Friday is to have a cup of coffee when I get home from work. Since today is my Friday, I had me a nice steaming mug of it this afternoon.
