Preparing and sharing Ethiopian traditional cup of coffee can take about a couple of hours. It is a sensory experience and most important social connection that strengthens communities.
The ceremony is usually conducted by a woman, dressed in the traditional Ethiopian outfit YAGER LIBS mostly handmade white dress with colored woven borders. The process begins with washing and roasting the beans on a pan. When the coffee beans are roasted, the pan is taken to the guests for a smell of the aroma. This is a significant part of the ceremony as the aroma of fresh roasted beans is simulating.
