The Addis Ethiopian Cafe is reviving the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony to help people reconnect in a post-pandemic world. During the ceremony, participants engage in conversation facilitated by question starter notes, creating community and new friendships. The ceremony begins with the roasting of green coffee beans, followed by a three-round serving of coffee, each round less potent than the last. Accompanying the coffee are snacks like popcorn, bread, or roasted barley. This ritual, which is a cornerstone of Ethiopian culture, not only celebrates the origins of Arabica coffee but also the value of storytelling and social connection in their society. Addis Ethiopian Cafe offers a unique experience that combines cultural heritage with the universal pleasure of coffee and conversation.
