Our Coffee Experience
Our coffee is Ethiopian organic and rainforest. Choose to have it espresso style or relax and enjoy a traditional brew. Love it? The coffee ceremony has been an integral part of every Ethiopian family for centuries. no celebration is complete without a coffee ceremony. The green raw coffee is washed before being roasted on a metal pan over charcoal. The smoke and aroma from the roasting rise and fill up the atmosphere. Coffee is then ground and brewed in an earthenware pot called a jebena.
