The traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a symbol of friendship, respect, and hospitality. Ethiopia is considered to be the birthplace of coffee, and many of Nile Sisters’ constituents are native Ethiopians. The March event provided opportunities for cultural and historical exchange as well as samples of authentic Ethiopian coffee and pastries.
