The Coffee Ceremony is a traditional ritual in many East African cultures, particularly in Ethiopia. It involves the preparation and serving of coffee in a communal setting, symbolizing hospitality and community bonding. The process typically includes roasting green coffee beans, grinding them, and brewing the coffee in a special pot called a jebena. During the ceremony, the host often serves the coffee in three rounds, each with a different strength. Guests are invited to enjoy the coffee while engaging in conversation, making it a social event that fosters relationships and cultural exchange. The ceremony can last for several hours, emphasizing the importance of coffee in social life.
