Book a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony experience for your next event.
A traditional Ethiopian coffee, (known as a Bunna) ceremony is a highly sensory experience which immerses guests in the tastes sounds, smells and sights of roasting, grinding, boiling, pouring, and serving of the coffee. it is served traditionally with freshly made popcorn.
Women usually conduct the ritual which begins with the roasting the coffee beans in a long handled pan over a charcoal fire, the beans are shaken back and forth continuously until they begin to pop. When the beans are slightly blackened and fragrant, the smoking pan is carried around the room so the guests can appreciate the aroma of the freshly roasted beans.
The beans are ground (this is usually done prior to the event to save time but it is demonstrated as it constitutes part of the ceremony).

The freshly ground coffee is placed in a traditional clay pot known as a Jebena, and hot (not boiling) water is added and the pot placed on the charcoal fire to brew.
During the brewing part of the ceremony traditional Arabic Gum resin incense is burned in the charcoal fire and the smell mingles with that of the brewing coffee.
Once brewed the coffee is served in tiny china cups, know as cini. Traditionally, Ethiopian coffee is drunk black, with the adding of sugar optional.
