Coffee was discovered in 1440 in Ethiop, by a Arabian Sheperd. One day, the shepherd observed that while most of the ships used to stay quiet around him, some used to run to the mountain and when they used to come back they were a little excited, running through the hill. One day the shepherd followed them and he saw them eating a small fruit, he tryed and the result was amazing, the shepherd became a happy and excited shepherd.

The effects of the plant spread and many passed to eat it. As the fruit used to dry when transported, the shepherd decided to create a drink with the fruits. The fruits were put in hot water, to help to fight against the cold of the nights. That’s how coffee was created.

Nowadays, coffee is one of the most consumed drinks all over the world and the Brazil develops a important paper of being the biggest producer and exporter in the world.
