Coffee

There's something about coffee - not just the tastes, but the traditions with the invitation of friendship and opportunities to engage in life with others. It's engaging and warming, much like the friends I like sharing it with. Ethiopia produces some of the most magnificent coffee in the world, in fact the very name comes from the Kaffa Province in Ethiopia where it was first discovered years ago. I had the amazing opportunity to visit Ethiopia in July 2015. 

Here is my attempt to share the experience with you.

The cups were small but packed with the most smooth and delicious coffee I've ever experienced.
