埃塞俄比亚咖啡仪式:慢社交中的文化传承
In Ethiopia, coffee is not merely a morning jolt; it is a sacred ritual. The traditional coffee ceremony, known as “buna,” anchors social life across the country, from highland villages to Addis Ababa’s bustling neighborhoods. It weaves hospitality, storytelling and patience into a single, unhurried experience.
The ceremony begins with raw green beans, which the host washes and roasts over a charcoal brazier. The aroma of smoke and caramel fills the room as the beans darken. Then they are ground with a mortar and pestle, and brewed in a clay pot called a jebena. This process can take an hour or more, deliberately slow by design.
