Coffee and the story of the dancing goat
Legend has it that coffee was discovered in Ethiopia by a shepherd who noticed that his goats became especially lively after chewing on coffee cherries. This discovery, full of hops and jumps, marked the beginning of the special relationship between caffeine and energy.
The coffee mystics
In 15th-century Turkey, coffee was not just a drink, but a mystical experience. Coffee houses were gathering centers where stories, poetry, and music were shared. The beverage was considered a direct connection to the divine, and spiritual properties were attributed to it.
The instant coffee revolution
In 1901, Japanese chemist Satori Kato invented instant coffee, revolutionizing the way the world enjoyed this infusion. This invention arose from the needs of Japanese soldiers in the Russo-Japanese War, who were looking for a quick solution for their beloved coffee.
The coffee that flew into space
In 2015, NASA conducted an exciting experiment on the International Space Station: growing coffee in space. Astronauts, who are coffee lovers just like anyone on Earth, celebrated the arrival of the first coffee plants in space, marking a milestone in coffee history.
The most expensive coffee in the world
This coffee originates from Indonesia; Kopi Luwak is known as the most expensive coffee in the world. The reason? It is because the beans are consumed and then excreted by a type of civet. The beans collected from this animal's droppings are washed, processed, and transformed into a beverage that many consider exquisite.
