Journaling reads "History of coffee.
The most popular origin story of the coffee beans starts with Kaldi and his goats in 700 AD. Kaldi, an Ethiopian (formerly Abyssinia) goat herder stumbled on his goats acting quite strange. They were dancing. This definitely wasn’t normal. He discovered that they were eating red berries and concluded that this fruit was the cause of this odd behavior(…) Though the story of Kaldi cannot be proven to be true, one thing is certain: coffee came from Ethiopia. Coffee made its way north, across the red sea into Yemen in the 15th Century. Due to coffee’s growing popularity and the shipment of coffee from the port city, Mocha became synonymous with coffee. In the late 1600’s, the Dutch had smuggled coffee plants from Yemen in an attempt to grow the beans in Holland, but due to the cold weather their cultivation scheme failed miserably. This time however, friends in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) sent coffee seedlings to the Dutch Governor of Java, Indonesia. (…) java becomes another household term for coffee.
