Following are 5 fun coffee facts:
1.) A dancing goat discovered coffee. Well, farmers in Ethiopia noticed that their goats would get all jumpy after eating coffee beans, so they decided to try it for themselves.
2.) Coffee was a food before it was a drink. Before people figured out how to brew coffee, they used to eat it. The Oatmeal reports that African Tribes used to eat "energy balls" of coffee beans and fat.
3.) Coffee grows on tree. I've never seen one, but coffee trees can grow up to 30ft tall. Farmers cultivate coffee trees to about 10 feet.
4.) A "cup of Joe" was first coined in World War II. Soldiers, known as "Joe's," were identified as big coffee drinkers.
5.) Only two types of coffee tree are widely cultivated. 70% of the world drinks coffee from Arabica coffee trees. The rest drink coffee from Robusta trees.
