The detection of coffee in folklegend has been associated with the mystical figures around Sufi orders. One popular legend attributes the original detection of drink to the founder of Şazeli order, Ebu'l-Hasan Ali eş-Şazeli. He became the patron saint of the coffee-dealers' guild, so the phrase "Ya Hazret-I Şeyh Şazeli" was placed in the shops of coffee-dealers and in the lodges of various orders.
