Скачать или смотреть The Story of Coffee: From Dancing Goats to Global Revolution

Did you know coffee was discovered by accident when an Ethiopian goat herder noticed his goats going crazy after eating red berries? This simple discovery in 9th century Ethiopia would transform human civilization forever.

From Sufi mystics in Yemen calling it "the wine of Islam" to European coffee houses becoming "penny universities" where revolutions were planned, coffee beans have literally powered human progress for over 1,000 years.

Coffee houses sparked the French Revolution, fueled America's independence movement, and became the birthplace of major financial institutions like Lloyd's of London. During the Industrial Revolution, workers depended on coffee to survive grueling factory shifts. Today, we consume over 2 billion cups daily, making coffee the world's second-most traded commodity after oil.

Every time you hear "it's coffee time," you're participating in a ritual that connects you to dancing goats, Islamic scholars, colonial rebellions, and the global economy. This incredible coffee history shows how one Ethiopian berry became humanity's favorite legal drug and the fuel of modern civilization.
