Reflections on Ethiopia

Trips to origin are always exciting, and Ethiopia as the birthplace of coffee, even more so.

Coffee is the country’s largest export and we visited some coffee areas in the south that are dedicated to growing and milling.

Yirga Cheffe acts as the hub to the villages of Beloya and Aricha, where I visited the farms that we purchase coffee from, and the mills that process it.

Having just arrived back, some of the highlights shared with Joseph from Ninety Plus Coffee and Tim Wendelboe were meeting the people behind these coffees and having an Ethiopian coffee ceremony made with the much loved Beloya. More to come…
