Coffee comes from Ethiopia, a place with tall mountains and green forests. A long, long time ago, there were these special trees with red berries. People didn’t know what these berries could do until a goat herder named Kaldi saw something amazing. When his goats ate these red berries, they got super active, and Kaldi felt energetic when he tried them too. That’s how coffee started!

People in Ethiopia started making a drink from these berries by mixing them with hot water. This became coffee. At first, only folks in Ethiopia knew about it. But soon, the word spread to Yemen, a place not too far away, and they loved coffee too. They made special places for people to drink coffee and chat.

Coffee didn’t stop there. It traveled to different parts of the world. In Europe, people turned coffee into a big deal, opening coffeehouses where they talked about interesting things. Coffee also found a home in South America, where the climate was perfect for growing coffee beans.

Now, coffee is everywhere. People enjoy it in many ways, like black, with sugar, or with milk. But no matter how you like it, coffee brings people together. Whether you’re in a cozy cafe in Paris or having a cup at home, you’re sharing in a tradition that started with those red berries in the Ethiopian forests, making our mornings better, one sip at a time.
