Coffee holds a special place in Ethiopian culture that transcends that of the coffees from other origin countries. The majority of the crop does not even leave the country and is drunk with great ceremony by the Ethiopian people. This is in contrast to other origins where coffee is a cash crop, with the best being exported, and the dregs kept locally and drunk unceremoniously with plenty of milk and sugar to choke it down. One taste of an excellent Ethiopian coffee and you will understand this passion for the bean.

COFFEES OF ETHIOPIA:

Ethiopia is an East Africa Country that is bordered by the red sea to the north, and Kenya to the south. It is about three times the size of California, with a population of 48 million people.

Coffee is native to Ethiopia, and if one were to follow the story of coffee to its origin, they would end up in Ethiopia. As legend has it, coffee was discovered sometime in the 9th century by Kaldi, an Ethiopian goat herder, and his goats. Apparently, Kaldi noticed that his goats were extremely energetic after eating the red berries of some coffee shrubs one day. Being rather tired himself, he decided to try the berries and his tiredness vanished. He found himself running and jumping with his goats, free of worry. News of his discovery traveled quickly, and coffee’s long journey to its present day beverage form was underway.

Today, most high quality Ethiopian coffee is grown on plantations in the southern part of the country at elevations between 3,575 feet and 6,825 feet. The soil is very fertile and the rains are ideal for the coffee plant.

In the past few years, due to political problems, the best examples of Ethiopian coffee were hard to find. However, their coffee industry has stabilized, putting quality and production on the upswing.
