In Ethiopia, the birthplace of Arabica coffee, Ethiopians spend hours roasting and brewing coffee in their living rooms. <br /><br />But, have you ever heard of the Ethiopian coffee ceremony? If not, you are not alone. <br /><br />Get ready, dear listeners, because James is going to take you, Scott, and Jools out of your regular coffee routine to see how coffee can be drunk quite differently. <br /><br />First, we travel to Italy as James roasts coffee beans with his family’s long-time friend and family helper, a lovely Ethiopian woman named Elisa. <br /><br />Then, Jools and Scott get treated to a coffee trader at the Ethiopian Embassy with the ambassador and Jame’s friend Ethiopian coffee exporter Michael Haile. <br /><br />And, we also hear from an Ethiopian expat, Mekdes, who grew up with the ceremony at home and still practices it herself. <br /><br />Get ready, because your morning coffee might just get a little more savory! <br /><br />—<br /><br />Join our Patreon to support the show! <a href="https://bit.ly/3vrispx" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3vrispx</a> <br /><br />Enjoy the legendary experience of a Moccamaster Coffee Brewers: <a href="https://bit.ly/3ANRBqQ" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3ANRBqQ</a><br />Repair your Moccamaster in the UK with Bella Barista: <a href="http://bit.ly/3UFHCfS" rel="noopener">http://bit.ly/3UFHCfS</a><br /><br />Become your own barista with Rocket Espresso: <a href="https://bit.ly/3RiBXeh" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3RiBXeh</a><br /><br />Want to learn more about our wonderful guests?
