A story you’ll “goat” nuts over!

A shrub cultivated all over the tropical world, the coffee bush produces a fruit that, once ripe, bears two seeds we call coffee beans. The legend of the coffee bush dates back to the Middle Ages. It is said that a Yemeni shepherd, baffled by the unusual energy of his goats, noticed they were feeding on the beans from a small, mysterious tree. Intrigued, he brewed some of them and discovered a subtly aromatic, deliciously energising beverage known worldwide today as coffee.
