It was discovered by Benjamin Frankland in 1909 while on his exploration expedition to Antarctica.
During the expedition there was an extremely sunny day that melted an ice shelf which came crashing down on to the crew of the expedition.
While no one died in the crash, they lost all there supplies of earl grey tea which caused panic around the expedition, due to 98% of the crew being made up of British troops.
To try to substitute for the lost tea, the explores tried boiling grass, rocks, animal fur and even there own socks. Though nothing they used could satisfy there taste buds.
Just as they where going to have to admit defeat and forfeit the expedition. They came across an undiscovered plant which had some brown beans hanging off it. Like everything else, they decided to try boiling these beans as well. Where 2% of the crew fell in love with the strong aroma and flavour.
Bringing the beans back home with them on there failed expedition, they shared the beans with a wealth benefactor by the name of George Clooney who used the flavour of the beans to create the company Nespresso where he named the beverage coffee.
