Ethiopia, the country of coffee’ origin, before starting the coffee trade, collected these beans that closely resemble cherry beans from a shrub-shaped plant that could be found in the depths of the forest. In that period the sweet pulp of this fruit was consumed, an action which to this day is carried out in Central Africa, through the fermentation process giving a very aromatic alcoholic beverage. But the consumption of pulp was not the only one consumed in that period, as there was widespread consumption and use of coffee plant leaves by chopping them in the mouth, as is done today in ANDE with cocoa leaves, or used to make tea. . It is thought that the first person to use the fruit of this plant was a shepherd who noticed that his sheep, they had a lot of energy and did not sleep at night after grazing on a lawn where there were some special bushes. The fruits of this plant, which were very similar to those of cherries, also attracted his attention, and he decided to take some and try them. The effect he felt was amazing, as in addition to the good taste they had, these grains gave the shepherd a lot of energy. He also passed these grains along with their leaves to some monks, which the latter used as energy drinks while staying awake on prayer nights. (Toussaint et al. 1996) these grains gave the shepherd and a lot of energy. He also passed these grains along with their leaves to some monks, which the latter used as energy drinks while staying awake on prayer nights. (Toussaint et al. 1996) these grains gave the shepherd and a lot of energy. He also passed these grains along with their leaves to some monks, which the latter used as energy drinks while staying awake on prayer nights. (Toussaint et al. 1996)
