Ethiopian coffee cup

When we talk about Ethiopia, unconsciously think of the Ethiopian coffee cup and Ethiopian vegetarian food.

Ethiopians are super-proud of their coffee, which they grow domestically.  Ethiopia is reportedly the birthplace of quality Arabica coffee, and its coffees are widely praised as some of the best in the world. so Ethiopian coffee cup is the most popular in Ethiopia.

“You can find very good espresso all over Addis Ababa (a legacy of Mussolini’s short-lived, unsuccessful attempt to colonize the country), but the more traditional way to enjoy the beverage is with a coffee ceremony. After a meal at someone’s house, or even at a restaurant, you may be presented with a small cup of strong espresso brewed over a charcoal brazier in a clay urn. “Incense is burned after a coffee ceremony, but not pure frankincense, because that’s only for the church,” says Richman.
