GET TO KNOW YOUR DRINK

## What is Jebena Buna?

Buna means coffee in Amharic. A jebena is the traditional clay pot used to brew and pour it. The name brings the drink and its vessel together: coffee prepared in the Ethiopian tradition.

The pot has a rounded body, a narrow neck and a pouring spout. Small cups are part of the familiar serving arrangement. The decorated, handleless cup shown here sits beside the black clay jebena.

Coffee has a place in Ethiopian hospitality that reaches beyond the drink itself. A coffee gathering creates time for conversation and company, with the preparation and serving becoming part of the welcome.

## From bean to small cup.

Traditional Ethiopian coffee preparation follows a patient sequence of roasting, grinding and brewing.

1.  ### Roast the beans
    
    Green coffee beans are roasted, developing their colour and aroma. In a traditional coffee gathering, this preparation is part of the shared experience.
    
2.  ### Grind & brew
    
    The roasted beans are ground and brewed with water in a jebena. The distinctive clay pot is central to this style of coffee preparation.
    
3.  ### Pour & share
    
    The brewed coffee is poured into small cups. Conversation and snacks, including popcorn in many coffee gatherings, accompany the serving.
    

## A small cup. A rich pause.

### What does it taste like?

Traditional jebena coffee is known for a strong, aromatic brew. Its flavour comes from the coffee beans and roast, so the experience is about the aroma and character of brewed coffee rather than a fixed set of tasting notes.

If this is your first cup, pause for the aroma, let it cool to a comfortable temperature and begin with a small sip.

### How to enjoy it

At Taste of Ethiopia, Jebena Buna comes with popcorn. Make room for it after your meal, or make the coffee itself the reason to spend a little time at the table.

There is no need to know a ceremony or special routine before enjoying it. Settle in, take your time and let the conversation continue between sips.
