Video Overview
Script: Ever wondered how your morning coffee became a global obsession? It all began in ancient Ethiopia, where legend tells of a goat herder named Kaldi. He noticed his goats dancing after eating berries from a certain tree. Curious, he tried them himself and felt a burst of energy. Word spread, and soon these beans found their way to the Arabian Peninsula, transforming into a drink that sparked conversations in Yemeni monasteries. As traders carried coffee across oceans, it became a symbol of hospitality and intellect, fueling revolutions and shaping economies. So next time you sip your coffee, remember: it’s more than a drink, it's a journey that started with a curious goat.
