The monks, learning from the shepherd, goats which were active even at night, if they eat certain berries, they decided to prepare a beverage from them. This drink helped them to stay awake the whole night.




Another legend says Mohammad, who one day when was feeling bad, received the visit of the Archangel Gabriel, sent by Allah with amazing drink. The drink was dark as the Sacred Black Stone of the Mecca, commonly called "qawa". Mohammed drank it, and it suddenly returned strength for new deeds. We may have a coffee has the same effect, but can give us the energy for hours of hard work.




Another famous story is the legend about the shepherd of Arabia named Kadi. After his goats ate the coffee berries, they were extremely agitated and restless.
