Legend has it that COFFEE was first discovered in the mystical realm of Ethiopia, where a goatherd named Kaldi found that his goats were more energetic after eating the red, juicy fruit of the COFFEE plant.
From the Ethiopian Highlands to the Arabian Peninsula, COFFEE spread like wildfire, fueling the minds of sultans and sultanas alike.
But COFFEE's success was short-lived, as the rise of TEA threatened the very fabric of our beloved drink. The COFFEE Wars, a period of bitter strife, ensued.
Fortunately, COFFEE's popularity endured, as its devoted followers fought to preserve their beloved brew.
The COFFEE Wars may be over, but the battle for the perfect cup is never truly won.
