A coffee plant in leaf, blossom and berry, drawn by Walther Otto Müller for Köhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen of 1887, opens to a simple Happy Father's Day beside a single coffee bean. Legend has it that coffee was found in Ethiopia when a goatherd saw his goats dancing after eating the berries. For the dad who loves his morning cup.
