Coffee comes from Kaffa (Ethiopia)

The stimulant effects of coffe were first explored in the Ethiopian ancient region of Kaffa and this is the reason why coffee is called "coffee." It's originally a Ethiopian word.
Still today the coffe ritual is an Ethiopian tradition. The coffee ladies (this is my description for them) can be seen sitting on this small table where the roast the coffee beans, boil and filter the coffee for their clients. Oh! And popcorn is also served as snack (see picture).

I found it really interesting but, unfortunately, I didn't have the time to taste such a "ritual coffee." I'm sure it's going to happen very soon.

Keep exploring!
Cheers!
