coffee ceremonies
Traditional caffeine gatherings
Coffee ceremonies are ritualized preparations and servings of coffee, most associated with Ethiopian and Eritrean culture.
The host roasts green beans, grinds them by hand, and brews coffee in a traditional clay pot, serving guests over several rounds.
The ceremony can last hours and carries social and spiritual significance—an expression of hospitality, community, and respect for guests.
