Participate in Ethiopia's sacred coffee ritual where green beans are roasted over charcoal, ground by hand, and brewed in a clay pot called a jebena. The ceremony involves three rounds of increasingly strong coffee served with popcorn or roasted barley, accompanied by burning incense. It's a deeply social experience that can last over an hour, symbolizing community and respect.
