Ethopia Harrar (G1) Specialty Coffee

The story claims that coffee beans were discovered when the shepherd Kaldi, noticed his sheep seamed jittery and had trouble sleeping after eating berries off of a certain tree. It didn't take long after that for the incredible aroma and flavor of the coffee bean to be discovered and enjoyed around the world.
