Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, and the story of its discovery begins with a goat herder named Kaldi, who noticed his goats became energetic after eating red cherries from a tree. This led to the creation of coffee as a drink, first enjoyed by local monks to stay awake during long prayers. Today, Ethiopia produces some of the world's finest coffee, with distinct flavors from regions like Sidama, Yirgacheffe, and Harrar. Coffee is deeply woven into Ethiopian culture, not just as a crop but as a symbol of hospitality and tradition, celebrated in daily coffee ceremonies across the country.
