There’s one thing we know about coffee: we can’t go a day without it, and it is a continual life-saver along with a mouthwatering beverage option. But there’s some surprising facts behind coffee that aren’t so well known, and will make you raise an eyebrow.
Coffee is the second most traded commodity on earth, after oil. Over 25 million farmers in 50 countries trade this delicious smelling beans.
Coffee was discovered in 800 AD in Ethiopia by Shepherds. Apparently 9th century goatherders noticed that caffeine gave their goats energy and they “danced” after eating coffee berries. Then a local monk made a cup after finding it kept him awake too – hence coffee was born.
The world’s most expensive coffee costs a staggering $600 a pound. It’s made from the feces of a Sumatran wildcat. The wildcat or Luwak is unable to digest the beans, so it is instead fermented in the stomach. Apparently when excreted it takes on a smooth and chocolate-inspired essence. Gross but fascinating!
