Coffee Legend

It is said that in the mountains of Yemen in 1258 AD, the chief Sheik Omar, who was expelled by his tribe for committing crimes, was exiled to Wasaba far away ( (located in Arabia), when he was walking exhausted on the mountain, he found that the bird on the branch made a very sweet and melodious cry after pecking at the fruits on the tree.

So he boiled the fruit with water and drank it. Unexpectedly, it gave off a rich and attractive fragrance. After drinking it, the original feeling of fatigue was also eliminated, and he was full of energy. Later, Omar collected many of these miraculous fruits. When someone fell ill, he made soup from the fruits for them to drink, which restored their energy.

Because he did good deeds everywhere and was loved by believers, his sins were soon forgiven. When he returned to Mocha, he was revered as a saint for discovering this fruit. It is said that the miraculous cure for diseases at that time was coffee.
