:: DISCOVERY

Legend has it that some curious goats, as they grazed, came across a wild shrub with bright red berries. After eating the berries, they were very merry. That night, they didn’t sleep a wink, and jumped around as though the sun hadn’t set at all!

The goatherds were amazed, and very worried, so they sought advice from a group of monks. The monks boiled the strange beans in water and drank the hot colourless brew, and, from then on, the long nights of prayer seemed less long and tiresome.

A less well known legend tells of the Prophet Muhammad. One day, Muhammad felt very ill, so the Archangel Gabriel came to his aid, bringing a potion he had received directly from Allah.

The beverage was as dark as the Holy Black Stone in Mecca, generally known as "qawa". Muhammad drank the brew. He immediately felt better, and was soon off on further exciting ventures.
