Episode 3b: The Essence of Ethiopian Coffees - The Culture (5 of 5)

This segment tries to summarize the episode on the cultural heritage status of coffee for Ethiopians along with the supply and value chains for coffee in Ethiopia and reinforce the view that Ethiopians are pioneers of coffee culture. Coffee is both food and beverages as both coffee and tea drinks. Ethiopians love everything coffee and use the leaves, husks, and of course beans. As the cradle of Coffea arabica and mankind, there is nothing surprising about this. Coffee also started out as a social drink in Ethiopia and not commercial. It's also the reason why Ethiopians drink most of the coffee they produce rather than export it. This episode is a six segment part and will dwell on the main purpose of the podcast, i.e. presenting Ethiopians as the coffee people. Enjoy and much love from Addis ❣️
