Video Overview

Script: Ever wondered how coffee became the world's favorite drink? It all started with goats. Legend says an Ethiopian herder named Kaldi noticed his goats dancing energetically after nibbling on some berries. Curious, he tried them himself and felt a burst of energy. Word spread, and soon monks were using these berries to stay awake during prayers. From monasteries to merchants, coffee traveled across continents, transforming from a local secret to a global phenomenon. Today, every cup is a reminder of those lively goats in Ethiopia.
