Origins of Coffee
Sheep farmers noticed that sheep that ate the little red berry of this plant would stay up at night and play, while other sheep that did not eat the berry, would sleep.

Introduced to the monasteries thereafter, the monks roasted the berry and slowly drank the brew all day long so they could stay up long hours to transcribe and adorn the Bible pages.

“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19,20 KJV
