Plan a Journey Around This Experience →What This Experience Entails
Ethiopia is the ancestral genetic homeland of Coffea Arabica. In the ancient moist montane forests of Kaffa, wild coffee shrubs still grow abundantly under the natural forest canopy. Milan invites you to trace this sacred bean from high-altitude shade plantations and cooperative drying beds to the solemn three-round Bunna ceremonial ritual—Abol, Tona, and Baraka—roasted over frankincense coals in private highland homes.
“The Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a sacrament of hospitality. From the green beans roasting over coals to the third blessing round of Baraka, it honors time, friendship, and ancient origin.”
— Traditional Bunna Master, Addis Ababa
