A origem do café está associada à Etiópia, quando um pastor percebeu que as suas cabras saltavam descontroladamente depois de comerem a planta.
Inicialmente, as folhas e frutos secos do café eram colocados em água quente, à semelhança do que se faz com o chá. Só mais tarde, quando o café chegou ao Império Otomano, começou a ser preparado de uma forma que reconheceríamos hoje. Saiba mais sobre a história do café neste episódio de Grandes Invenções.
Coffee was born in Ethiopia when a shepherd noticed
his goats jumping around wildly after eating coffee
berries. Or so the story goes. What is certain is that
the word coffee comes from Kaffa, a region in Ethiopia.
The leaves and dried berries were initially infused in
hot water in a similar way to tea. It was only later,
when coffee reached the Ottoman Empire, that it was
prepared in a way we would recognise today. Great
Inventions explores all aspects of coffee growing
and appreciation.
