Why Jolly Goat?

kaldi and goatJolly Goat Coffee derived from one of the most favourable stories of how Coffee was founded.  

 

Around 800 AD in the African region of Harar there was a Goat herder by the name of Kaldi.  Kaldi's daily routine was to let his goats roam free along the mountain side.  When he was ready to head back home he called for his herd to return. 

 

When the goats did not come back, he went looking for them and found them in a group eating bright red cherries off a bush he had not noticed before.  He noticed that his goats were livlier, more active and "JOLLY" leaping and darting about.  

 

When Kaldi noticed this he decided to eat some of the cherries himself and he to felt the affects of the caffiene and decided to take them back to the village.  Over the years it had developed into a black brew in which we now call coffee.
