Coffee is the second-most traded commodity in the world, behind only petroleum, and has become mainstay of the modern diet. Believed to have originated in Ethiopia, coffee was used in Middle East in 16th century to aid concentration. Legend has it that Kaldi, a Goat herder in 9th century Ethiopia discovered the energising effects of coffee when he saw his goats getting excited after eating some berries from a tree. He told the local monastery about this and the Abbot came up with the idea of drying and boiling berries to make a beverage. He threw berries into fire when the unmistakable aroma of what we know coffee drifted through the night air. The roasted beans were raked from the embers, ground up and dissolved in hot water - so was made the world's first cup of coffee. Different stories have emerged about its search and growing in Middle east, Europe, U.K, USA and other countries in Africa over a period of time. The history of coffee in India dates back in around 1600 A
