Coffee Beans from Ethiopia

Ethiopia is believed to be the home of the very first coffee ever whilst its history dates back to the 10^th century and this means that, with every brew, you are drinking a little piece of history. The ancient mountain people of Ethiopia (historians often refer to Sidamo region of the South of Ethiopia) didn't go as far as roasting and brewing the coffee beans but ate its red cherries instead. It is only then that Ethiopian coffee beans found their way to Europe through the Middle East.

Ethiopia is a country of conflicts: be that political, economical, or environmental. These conflicts have had tremendous impacts on the coffee growing capabilities of the country. In 2003, for instance, the price of coffee plummeted so low that farmers were no longer able to cover their own costs. As a result, coffee production dropped, with farmers branching out into other crops. However, many retained at least some coffee plants on their farms, being dedicated to the art of creating one of the world's most consumed drinks. As a result, when you buy coffee from Ethiopia, you will be able to drink something that has been given true love, care, and attention. And, at the same time, you are making a true difference to the lives of some of the world's poorest people.
