Why Ethiopian Coffee Beans Are Unique

Ethiopia is considered the birthplace of coffee. Here, coffee grows not only on plantations but also in the wild, resulting in an unprecedented genetic diversity and complexity of flavour. Ethiopia’s coffee culture is deeply rooted: from traditional coffee ceremonies to age-old cultivation methods.

At Koffie Kenner we only selectEthiopian specialty coffeeof exceptional quality. Our coffees come directly from cooperatives or farms in well-known regions such as Yirgacheffe, Guji, Sidamo and Limu. They are locally processed (washed or natural) and freshly roasted in the Netherlands for the best taste experience.
