The history of coffee is patchy and full of myth and hearsay. One of the most popular story goes that Kaldi, an Ethiopian goatherd, saw his goats eating coffee berries and as a result becoming elated. So, Kaldi then tried them himself and thus discovered the potential of coffee. And that’s where we got our name - Dancing Goat. Although it’s far more likely that uses for coffee were developed over time and were discovered by people tasting various parts of the cherry, the old fables do add a bit of romance and are very cute.

It’s also a huge responsibility. You can easily ruin something that’s been in the works for months and has been perfect up until now. Light Roasts Usually roasted for 6-8 minutes or simply until achieving a light brown color. This method is used for milder coffee varieties and for coffee tasting.

Before a ripe coffee plant transforms into a delicious cup lying on your table, it undergoes quite a journey. A journey full of possible pitfalls, which can, usually negatively, influence the coffee’s final taste. What goes wrong at the very beginning cannot be made up for at the very end.
