The Rich Tradition of the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony

At Coroco Coffee, we believe in the power of connection and community, and what better way to embody that than through the ancient tradition of the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony? In Ethiopia, coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s an event, a moment of togetherness that invites friends, family, and even strangers to slow down and appreciate the beauty of life, one cup at a time.

What is the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony?

The Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony is an intricate, spiritual process that has been passed down for generations. It begins with green coffee beans, which are roasted in a pan over an open flame. The rich, earthy aroma of the roasting beans fills the air, signaling the beginning of a shared experience. Once the beans are roasted to perfection, they are ground and brewed in a traditional pot called a jebena.

During the ceremony, coffee is poured into small, delicate cups called sini from a height to create a perfect frothy layer on top. It’s served in three rounds: abol (first), tona (second), and baraka (third), with each cup representing a deepening of the communal connection. The final round, baraka, translates to “blessing,” symbolizing the harmony that coffee brings to the group.

It’s a slow, deliberate process, often lasting hours, with the aim of building relationships and appreciating the moment. In Ethiopia, coffee isn’t rushed—it’s an act of hospitality and respect, an opportunity to share stories and reflect.
