THE HISTORY OF ETHIOPIAN COFFEE
Ethiopia is widely regarded as the birth place of coffee. As legend goes, around 850 AD, an Ethiopian goatherder, named Kaldi, was tending to his goats in the Kaffa region of Ethiopia, when he first observed the effects of coffee beans. Noticing that his goats were "jumping" and excited after eating the red berries growing nearby, he decided to try some for himself. After experiencing the effects of the beans firsthand, he decided to share the news with the monks in a local monastery. Through a strange occurrence of events, the rest is history, and coffee, as we know it today was born.
Fast forward over 1,000 years to today, and Ethiopian coffee is known to be some of the best coffee in the world. Highly sought after for its intense flavor and complex aromas, there are many different types of Ethiopian coffee. Some of the more popular varieties include Harrar, Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, and of course, Kochere. Each coffee is grown in a particular region, and has its own unique profile. Kochere Coffee Company has gathered the best of the best, and we know that you will fall in love with them, just as we did.

The soil and climate in Ethiopia is perfect for growing coffee. The rich, diverse soils are nutrient-rich and the climate is warm and sunny, with plenty of rain.
