Ethiopia is regarded the world over as the origin of Coffee. You might be surprised to learn that the actual birthplace of coffee is located in the lush green Kaffa region of south western Ethiopia – from where it gets its name. Coffee still grows in the wild here and you can still admire ancient coffee bean trees growing the red coffee beans.

This is what our Yedur Coffee means; coffee that grows in the wild. At Yedur Coffee, we have a team of coffee experts who handpick the finest highland organic coffee beans.

Ethiopia is not just home to the finest coffee, it is also home to a truly unique tradition of coffee preparation. This is why Coffee in Ethiopia is not simply a beverage; it is an everyday cultural and social activity that takes place around the country. Holding a coffee ceremony is the traditional Ethiopian way of welcoming a guest and offering them the finest hospitality.

The Coffee Ceremony is one of the most celebrated Ethiopian traditions and it is a lifestyle with which most Ethiopians identify. Preparing the best coffee runs in the veins of every Ethiopian mother; mothers teach their daughters from a very young age to ensure that they too can carry on the tradition and make the best coffee. This tradition is passed down through the generations. Yedur Coffee is not just about the best coffee but introducing and instilling this special culture of the coffee ceremony to coffee lovers all around the world.

We also acknowledge the experts working with us, from selecting to roasting and packing the coffee. We invite you to experience the very best Ethiopian coffee with its rich cultural traditions and history.
