Ethiopia is widely considered the birthplace of coffee. Legend says a goatherd named Kaldi noticed his goats dancing after eating red berries, and coffee was discovered.
Coffee in Ethiopia is more than a drink—it is a ritual. The Habesha Coffee Ceremony is a traditional practice of hospitality. Green coffee beans are washed, roasted over an open flame, ground by hand, and brewed in a clay pot called a jebena. The coffee is often served in three rounds—Abol, Tona, and Baraka—symbolizing friendship and blessing.
