Ethiopia — Birthplace of Coffee

Coffee was born here. In the ancient highlands of Yirgacheffe, Sidama, and Harrar, wild coffee trees still grow as they have for over a thousand years. Ethiopia is the only country where coffee grows naturally in the wild — and every cup tells that story.

Curator: Amara Bekele, Addis Ababa — "I grew up watching my grandmother wash coffee cherries in the river. Every cup is a memory."
