The Birthplace of Coffee

Most everyone likes coffee, whether it's black or mixed in to a latte or cappuccino, but where do those aromatic little black beans come from? You can actually thank Ethiopia for the discovery of the coffee beans and the flavorful, stimulating brew that comes from!
Legend has it that coffee beans were originally discovered by a goatherd in A.D. 850, when his goats seemed unusually excited and active after nibbling some bright red berries that grew near their pasture. The goatherd tried the berries for himself and immediately felt more energetic and happy. He took the berries to the Monks in a nearby monastery, thinking they were miraculous, but the monks threw them in to the fire, claiming  they were evil. Only when the wonderful smell of roasting coffee beans filled the entire monastery did the monks sweep them out of the fire's embers and cover them with hot water to preserve them, accidentally creating a new and wonderful drink that helped the monks stay awake during long nights of meditation.

Today we know that the miraculous ingredient in coffee beans is caffeine, a stimulant, that makes people wake up when they drink it. Coffee, whose name comes from the Kaffa region of Ethiopia where coffee trees grow wild, quickly became a popular drink all over the world. Although coffee is now grown in many other parts of the world as well, Ethiopia is still known for producing the best coffee in the world.

Today, Ethiopia is Africa's major exporter of Arabica coffee beans. Arabica is known as the world's highest-quality coffee, and it's one of the two major species of coffee beans used to make most of what the world drinks.
Arabica trees will produce crops of coffee beans about 3 to 4 years after being planted, and they can keep producing for 20 to 30 years. Most of the Arabica trees in the Kaffa province grow wild in the rolling hills and forests there. coffee trees like Kaffa's climate, with temperature of 60 to 75 degree F, shade from the midday sun, and plenty of moisture in the soil.
Coffee is big business in Ethiopia. More than 15 million people depend on this industry. Coffee exported to countries such as Germany, Japan, the United States, and the Middle East.

No trip to Ethiopia would be complete with out a chance to participate in an Ethiopian cofffee ceremony. An invitation to attend this ceremony is a mark of friendship and  respect. Coffee beans are roasted in the traditional way, in a flat pan over a small charcoal stove. Once they are black and glossy, the hostess ( usually a young woman dressed in traditional Ethiopian closing) grinds the beans with a mortar and pestle and then stirs the grounds in to water in a special black clay coffee pot called a Jebena. The coffee is served in  tiny china cups, given first to the oldest person in the room and then to the rest,as a connection between the generations. participants drink at least three cups of coffee, since the third round, or known as baraka , bestows a blessing upon the person who drinks it.
We can organise your coffee tours in collaboration of diffrent coffee farmers cooperative unions and the Oromia farmers  unions are  the one, which featured in the award winning documentary, Black Gold.

The coffee tour would include meetings and discussions in Addis Ababa, cupping sessions, a visit to a coffee auction, and visit to the cooperatives in the coffee growing areas, such as around Harar, Yirga Chefe, Jimma and Nekemte.
