Ethiopian Coffee Heritage:
Ethiopia, known as the birthplace of coffee, has a centuries-old history tied to this beloved beverage. According to legend, a goat herder named Kaldi stumbled upon coffee when he noticed his goats getting energized after munching on berries from a particular tree. This accidental find sparked the cultivation and widespread enjoyment of coffee in Ethiopian culture. Today, traditional coffee ceremonies continue to be a significant social activity. Ethiopia's distinct coffee varieties, like Harrar, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe, are globally celebrated for their unique flavors and aromas.
