THE Ethiopian Coffee CERMONY?

Ethiopia’s coffee ceremony is an integral part of their social and cultural life. An invitation to attend a coffee ceremony is considered a mark of friendship or respect and is an excellent example of Ethiopian hospitality. Performing the ceremony is almost obligatory in the presence of a visitor, whatever the time of day. Don’t be in a hurry though – this special ceremony can take a few hours. So sit back and enjoy because it is most definitely not instant.

A traditional Ethiopian coffee (Bunna) ceremony is highly sensory, immersing guests in the sounds, smells and sights of roasting, grinding, boiling, pouring, and serving coffee. Our younger guests eagerly munched popcorn, served as a snack during the ceremony!

Women usually conduct the ritual and begin by roasting the Coffee Beans in a long handled pan, shaking the beans back and forth continuously until they begin to pop. When the beans are fragrant and slightly blackened, the smoking pan is carried around the room so the guests can appreciate the aroma of the freshly roasted beans.

The beans are ground. and the freshly Ground Coffee put in a traditional clay pot called a Jebena, and water added. At this point, a stick of incense is lit, and left to burn, and mingle with the smell of Brewing Coffee. The boiling coffee is served in tiny china cups (cini). Ethiopian coffee is traditionally drunk black, with sugar optional

Fair Trade & Organic Coffees Our Organic and Fair Trade beans are selected for their exquisite flavor and for the care and attention given to the fragile, mountainous places where they are born. Fair Trade (certified by TransFairUSA) has established price guarantees which ensure that the small-scale farmers who grow and process these beans receive a fair price for their efforts. This enables farmers to care for themselves, their families, and their communities while reinvesting in the care and quality of their coffee. With the exception of Rain Forest Nut, our Fair Trade coffees are organic (certified by QAI), and cultivated with natural gardening techniques like composting, and terracing. They are grown entirely without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. They are also almost always ‘’shade grown”—interspersed with other plants—to preserve vanishing wildlife habitat and discourage erosion. Coffee FAQ’s: Coffee Grinding and Storage Q. Is it better to keep coffee in bean form and grind it before consumption, or is it better to buy coffee in the ground form and keep it in a sealed container? A. Buying whole bean coffee and grinding it just before using it will keep it fresh longer than ground coffee because you are exposing less of the surface of the bean to the elements. You should store both whole bean and ground coffee in an airtight container. Q. What are the best ways to grind coffee beans? A. There are many excellent types of grinders on the market ranging from manual to electric. One of the least expensive and most common is the electric blade grinder. Measure beans into the top, put the cover on and grind by time; 10 to15 seconds for coarse or perc, 15 to 20 for drip, 20 to 25 for autodrip, and 25 to 30 or more for fine or espresso grind. Blade grinders do have some drawbacks, specifically the grind is not as consistent, and the blade tends to heat or ”cook” the beans a bit. Next is the electric burr type grinder. Dial in the grind size, measure beans into a hopper and turn the grinder on. Two scribed discs literally crush the beans in a manner similar to the way wheat is ground in a flour mill. Manual grinders are also great because you can achieve

History of Coffee $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The history of coffee goes at least as far back as the thirteenth century, though coffees origin remains unclear. It had been believed that Ethiopian ancestors of todays Oromo people were the first to have discovered and recognized the energizing effect of the coffee bean plant. However, no direct evidence has been found indicating where in Africa coffee grew or who among the natives might have used it as a stimulant or even known about it, earlier than the 17th century. The story of Kaldi, the 9thcentury Ethiopian goatherd who discovered coffee, did not appear in writing until 1671 and is probably apocryphal.

Coffee Ceremony $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Coffee ceremony is one of the most recognizable parts of Eritrean and Ethiopian culture. Coffee is offered when visiting friends, during festivities, or as a daily staple of life. If coffee is politely declined then most likely tea (shai) will be served. The coffee is brewed by first roasting the green coffee beans over hot coals in a brazier. Once the beans are roasted each participant is given an opportunity to sample the aromatic smoke by wafting it towards them. This is followed by the grinding of the beans, traditionally in a wooden mortar and pestle. The coffee grounds are then put into a special vessel and boiled. The boiling pot (jebena) is usually made of pottery and has a spherical base, a neck and pouring spout and a handle where the neck connects with the base. When the coffee boils up through the neck it is poured in and out of another container to cool it, and then is put back into the boiling pot until it happens again. To pour the coffee from the boiling pot, a filter made from horsehair or other material is placed in the spout of the boiling pot to prevent the grounds from escaping.
