Arabica coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia around the 8th and 9th centuries by a goat herder named Kaldi.

One of the core cultural traditions in Ethiopia is having a 'coffee ceremony.' It is a tradition where people would gather to enjoy coffee and conversation.

Ethiopia coffee beans can be eaten raw also the coffee cherries. In some communities in Ethiopia, people would mix it with nuts, cereal, even with butter and other spices to eat it raw.
