The Stuff of Myth & Legends

I wake up in the morning because aeons ago in the fields of Ethiopia a humble goat herder named Kaldi suffered because his goats failed to sleep at night. The ever-watchful Kaldi tried to discover the reason for their insomniac behavior and soon caught his goats nibbling on strange, dark berries.

When Kaldi picked the berries and brought them to his local abbot, his friend determined they should brew them - as good abbots do most things. Thus they rendered the first cup of bitter human elixer which to this day has been the only reason I don't stay in bed until the ungodly hour of noon.
