The true origins of coffee are lost in the swirling crema of time, but our favourite version of the legend tells how in 850AD, a goat herder named Kaldi stumbled upon an energising berry growing in the mountains of Africa. Eating these berries helped him stay alert and protect his goats from wolves.
News of his discovery spread far beyond his homeland, and soon people everywhere were enjoying coffee – the beverage that changed the world.
At Kaldista Coffee Company, we honour the legacy of Kaldi in every bag of ground coffee and coffee beans we produce – a little piece of history that translates into moments of enjoyment today.
