What is the history of dancing goats?
One of the first legends of how coffee came to exist is of the myth of Kaldi, the Ethiopian goatherd and his dancing goats. The legend states that while Kaldi was pasturing his herd, they ate some seeds of a bright green plant (the Coffea). The flock became energized, and began to dance. Kaldi was a legendary Ethiopian goatherd who is credited for discovering the coffee plant around 850 CE, according to popular legend, after which such crop entered the Islamic world and then the rest of the world.Legend has it… that coffee was first discovered by a goat herder named Kaladi living in the land of Arabia Felix. One day Kaladi found his normally tranquil goats very frisky and dancing with abandoned glee near a shiny, dark-leafed shrub with berries.
