What does “Kaffa” mean?
Kaffa (also spelled Kefa) is a historic region in southwestern Ethiopia and is widely regarded as the birthplace of Arabica coffee. According to Ethiopian tradition, the word “coffee” is believed to have originated from Kaffa, where wild Arabica coffee has grown naturally for centuries.
Legend tells of a goat herder named Kaldi, who discovered coffee after noticing his goats became energetic after eating the berries from a particular tree.
Whether legend or history, Ethiopia remains the genetic home of Arabica coffee and one of the world’s most respected coffee-producing countries.
Today, Ethiopian coffee is prized for its complex flavour, floral aromas, and exceptional quality.
