The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Right now the process of decaffinating beans significantly impacts the flavor. If you could grow a "decaffeinated" bean, in theory it would taste better.

oh wait, excuse my ignorance
I was under impression that this is somehow relevant to the classic coffee beverages
I completely forgot about the whole "decaf" thing, as I drink coffee only because of what caffeine does to me
