Nothing compares to the flavours of a high quality grade washed Ethiopian coffee. Hence we couldn’t not offer a gem like this. This delicious black gold origins from the fields of Gedeo. Which is in the surrounding area where mand kind ánd coffee where birthed. A coincidence? If you would ask the Ethiopians they will tell you it was meant to be. Because coffee has grown and has been harvested for over many years, it is part of the Ethiopian culture and identity.

You might have heard of goat herder Kaldi, who allegedly had discovered coffee togethers with his herd of goat. When travelling to this region, you will still find many goats on every corner of the street. Same as for local coffee bars, where you can get your daily fix.

Chances are you walk straight in to “a coffee ceremony”. These ceremonies come in many shapes and sizes. The most simple version, is found in many streets and places. The coffee is brewed in a high coffee jug, a Jabena. On the ground we find grass, which is scattered like confetti. For very special occasions, there is a fancy incence burned. This is only on rare occasions, since incensces like Frankincense is very precious. There might also be snacks like popcorn. A fun fact about popcorn (and coffee) is that they both “pop” (or in coffee we call it a crack), where the increase in volume.

The coffee cups are filled up until the rim. You have to be very careful handeling them. Besides sugar, some times a local herb names “Tena Adam” is added. This herb looks like a vern, and removed the bitter notes from a coffee, and tasted like spring florals. A flavour, which van also be naturally present in complex washed coffees from Ethiopia. And might just that be the case with this delicious coffee from Halo washing station.

We wish you a tiny trip inside your mind to Ethiopia, dreaming of participating in a small or fancy coffee ceremony.
