It's National Coffee Day!
Coffee was discovered in Ethiopia by a goat hearder named Kaldi (funny, that's the name of a coffee shop in Cincinnati). A century later, coffee began to be roasted and traded by Arabs. From there, the beans entered the Indian and European markets and the first coffee shop (NOT Starbucks) opened in Constantinople in 1475 (before Columbus found us). Today, 4000 billion cups of coffee are consumed each year and we celebrated today by having a bunch of those cups today!
