Our Legendary –
Origin and History aligned well!
Where you can discover origin, inheritance and culture at a certain point!
Coffee grown worldwide can trace its heritage back centuries to the ancient coffee forests on the Ethiopian plateau. The legend says the goat herder Kaldi first discovered Coffee after he noticed that eating the berries from the certain trees, his goat became so energetic. Kalid reported his finding to the abbot of the local monastery who made a drink with the berries and found that it kept alert through long hour prayer and developed the knowledge of energizing to begin to spread and followed the Ethiopian coffee ceremony that beans went beyond energy and became a culture for social fabric. Eventually, as the trade was well carried to the middle east countries, the variety became known for coffee Arabica in which we work for its reclamation of innovation and legend to be commented as Coffee Ethiopica.
