Legend has it that around 850 A.D., a \u2064curious \u2062shepherd<\/a> stumbled upon an\u200b unusual berry<\/a>\u200d growing on a secluded \u200bhillside. Before he could stop \u200bthem, \u2064some of his sheep had\u200c already sampled the mysterious fruit. To his \u200castonishment, the sheep seemed unusually alert and \u200clively, a stark \u2063contrast to their \u200dusual post-journey\u200c fatigue. Intrigued by \u2064this transformation,\u200c the shepherd decided to \u2062taste the\u200c berries himself and\u2064 soon found himself \u200denergized \u2064and \u200dinvigorated.<\/p>\n As \u2062fate would have it, a monk happened upon this scene and was initially critical of the shepherd\u2019s indulgence. However, intrigued\u200c by its effects, he took some\u2062 berries\u2062 back to his monastery. The monks\u2063 discovered that these magical beans helped them stay awake during long hours of prayer. Thus \u2062began \u2063coffee\u2019s journey\u200d from\u200c Ethiopia<\/a> to \u2064becoming an\u200c integral part of Arabian culture where it remained sacred for many years.<\/p>\n The\u200d fame of \u200ccoffee spread when an Arab named Baba \u200cBudan smuggled beans out into \u2064the wider world. This marked coffee\u2019s transition into one of history\u2019s most cherished commodities.
