Unveiling Coffee’s Origins: How Humanity Got Hooked

Ever wondered how humanity got hooked on coffee? Dive into the fascinating tale with TED Ed’s captivating video on the origins of our beloved brew.

It all began around 850 CE, when a curious goatherd noticed his goats acting strangely after nibbling on some berries. Intrigued, he sampled the berries himself, and soon found himself buzzing with energy. Little did he know, this encounter marked humanity’s first rendezvous with coffee. But how did this humble plant transform into one of the world’s most beloved beverages?

Join us on a historical expedition tracing coffee’s journey from its enigmatic origins to its global dominance.
