[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 9309191, member: 1125"] Its likely that coffee berries were originally chewed rather thsn drunk and in some parts of Ethiopia it is still a tradition to chew coffee berries mixed with ghee, the coffee berries were also fermented into a wine. Its thought that coffee entered Arabia via sudanese merchants or slaves chewing the coffee-ghee mix to survive the desert crossing. So maybe the bitter chewed stuff wasnt so amazing and was just survival food. The story of the goatherd, a mere 1000 yrs ago, might mark the first time Ethiopian monks roasted coffee berries in a fire, crushed them and steeped the powder in hot water creating the [I]medicinal[/I] coffee decoction we know today. This we know was a hit, its of huge cultural importance in Ethiopia and Yemen and has spread to the world. Interestingly the Ethiopian word for coffee is Buna and it was commonly grown in the Kingdom of Kaffa, thus in trade coffee was called [I]Kaffa Buna[/I] eventually anglicized to [I]Coffee Bean[/I] (rather than coffee berry) [/QUOTE]
