Ethiopia Coffee Tour: Discover the Birthplace of Coffee

Ethiopia is a land of coffee, known as the birthplace of Arabica coffee. The word “coffee” itself originates from the region of Kaffa, located in southwest Ethiopia. According to legend, a goat herder from Kaffa noticed his goats becoming unusually energetic after consuming coffee tree leaves. This discovery eventually led to the roasting of coffee beans, giving rise to the beloved beverage that is enjoyed worldwide today.

In Kaffa, visitors will find vast coffee farms, while coffee also grows wild in the Ethiopian highland forests. The country is home to some of the world’s most famous coffee-growing regions, including Kaffa, Sidama, Yirgacheffe, Limmu, Jimma, Sidamo, and Harar, each producing internationally recognized, trademarked coffees.

Coffee is deeply embedded in Ethiopian culture. More than just a beverage, it serves as a food staple in some regions, particularly in Oromia province. Coffee plays a central role in Ethiopian social life, with the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony being an essential part of daily activities. Guests visiting Ethiopian households are often treated to this immersive ritual, where they can enjoy up to three rounds of freshly brewed coffee. This tradition showcases Ethiopia’s famous hospitality and cultural richness.
