加尔第(英语:Kaldi),又称牧羊人加尔第。加尔第是一位阿拉伯传说中提及的埃塞俄比亚牧羊人英语Goatherd[1],据传他在公元850年左右发现了咖啡树,随后该作物传进穆斯林世界,并传播至世界各地。

分析

编辑

这个故事很可能是虚构的,因为最初是由一位马龙尼罗马东方语言教授安托万·福斯塔斯·奈隆 (Antoine Faustus Nairon) 讲述的,同时也是第一批致力于咖啡印刷论文之一的著作《De Saluberrima potione Cahue seu Cafe nuncupata Discurscus》(罗马,1671年)的作者。[2][3]

埃塞俄比亚牧羊人加尔第和他跳舞的山羊神话是西方文学中最常见的咖啡起源故事,其美化了苏非派与咖啡相遇发生在埃塞俄比亚(位于阿拉伯半岛红海的狭窄通道对面)的可信传统。[4]

后世影响

编辑

在现代中,“加尔第咖啡”或“加尔第的咖啡”以及“跳舞山羊”或“徘徊山羊”是世界各地咖啡店咖啡烘焙公司的常见名称。[5]埃塞俄比亚最大的咖啡连锁店被称为Kaldi's。
