INTERVIEWEE: Abyenhe
🇪🇹INJERA: Begin by mixing teff flour and water, letting the mixture ferment for a day to prevent excessive sourness. Simultaneously, create maize dough for added softness and texture. Combine the two doughs and allow them to ferment for approximately 2 days. For cooking, apply gomenzera on the flat stove to clean it, then place the injera mix on the flattop briefly, typically for a few seconds, to achieve the desired result.

You have to do Kenya again. You never did it extensively, we have different tribes which means slightly different cultures and dishes.
I love you but why you have to ask about iPhone?
After living in Addis for more than a decade, love Ethiopian food, but it’s not “street food” by any reasonable definition. Yilma Siga Bet, where you went, is a fancy sit-down restaurant. Nobody eats food in a street food style manner - walking while eating, carrying food, eating on the sidewalk, takeaway, etc is considered disrespectful to the food. In fact Ethiopian culture dictates that food should be enjoyed sitting down in good company. The opposite of street food in every way.
That's True❤
Very true! I was surprised to see it labeled as street food, this is definitely not street food.
That's true thank you
You're lucky living all that time in Ethiopia what are you doing all that time in Ethiopia? I wish I live in my country but I can't afford it.
Yes it's not street food
I am from Chad but have been to Ethiopia a couple of times. I love it there. Top-notch service offered by Ethiopian Airlines, beautiful city of Addis and women. Ethiopia makes me proud as an Africa. I see why the headquarters of the African Union is there.

Thank you bro Ethiopia is your country too because you are African ❤❤❤❤
as an Ethiopian and a fan of this show for more than 4 years it gives me such joy to see familiar faces and cultures being shared on here finally...... thank you for your visit Sonny :)
As an Ethiopian could u give some info about the drink Araque? Cause its pronounced the same as our drink in Balkan "RAKI" (in albanian) almost the same in other balkan languages. Its made from distilled grape right?
@@orestbala7722 oh, Araque is made from fermented grain like germinated corn and with different flavoring spices. Likewise it is double distilled by traditional techniques to give strong alcholic content.
I’d feed you a chuck of raw meat anytime
How do you feel about the raw meat?
@@dehjhunaeday5743 most people might be scared to try it but when I say it’s the best thing I ever tried I’m not exaggerating
Am Indian. but i love so much Ethiopian food and people... I stayed in Ethiopia for 4 years...

Thankyou❤❤

Love from Ethiopia 🇪🇹

who else agrees that Sonny is the best person to look up to when you're upset, not feeling the best, or overwhelmed? He is always so positive and comical, which always puts a smile on my face even if I'm not feeling the best :)) we love you Sonny!!
I saw your comment and realized that you have a TH-cam channel. So, I check out your videos. Very nice, I love how relaxing they are as well. I do hope you keep making content. Good job! ✌🏻😊
Thanks @@melissadunton3534
He's a great uplifter!
I totally agree, and Sonny’s voice is calming to me ❤
You must be a “bestie” lol
This is once again a sign that I MUST try ethiopian food. May God bless these beautiful people and their country! I have met a few ethiopians and they have always been so sweet and humble. I truly wish Ethiopian Airlines served more of their traditional inspired food. Would really make the travelling experience with them more authentic.
Best wishes from South Africa 🇿🇦
Even the raw dishes?
@@isakjoseph747 the steak tartare with the chillies, garlic etc. I'd consider trying but the big chuncks of raw meat, I won't.
Hej!
@@deesdiary17 I live in Austin, TX and we alone have 3 Ethiopian restaurants. It definitely shouldn't be that hard to find it in South Africa.
:)
@@nahor88 Hello! Yes...we have in South Africa too...but will need to take a very long drive to get there though!
As someone who has religiously been following your channel over the past several years and being an Ethiopian , I have always wondered why you never visited my country but now, the case is settled. Thanks Sonny for showing the world what a plethora of culture of food Ethiopia has to offer to the world 😊
As some one who would love to visit your country where would recommend the best places to go..
You have food in your country??

Much love to Nigeria too!! 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬We love y’all!! Egusi soup and jollof rice are amazing and the music and culture yall bring is taking over the world! Glory and love from Ethiopia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I liked the donkeys 😂😂
Mahider did well presenting the food culture, props to you mahi😊
he should have done the meet part with her....😃
😂😂😂😂
6:45 I love that you can literally feed someone you just met using your hands. It just show that Ethiopians are affectionate and respectful people with strong communal spirit. ❤ from PH.
That's true ❤
What if they just took a dump and did t wash their hands, as they are feeding you raw meat with worms? That’s doesn’t seem like a good time
Every ethiopian wash our hands with soap and water before we have meal.
@@razo3966 crazy they didn’t show that
@@NaltddeshaEditing may also be a factor.
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Mark 1:15 - “The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
Im not Ethiopian but my dad loves their coffee. He oftern goes to a market north of our city where many Ethiopians reside and buys coffee beans. He then comes home and dedicates 1-2hrs roasting them. The smell of it is often potent but I’ve come to associate it with warmth because of my dad. Been really into coffee since. Random story, but I was just reminded of it.
😊
where did this happen?
@@asterabrham8470 in his home
I can so relate to that! The smell of roasted coffee smells like like family gathering on Sunday after church to me. I didn’t like the smell when I was younger but now it brings back great memories 🥰
you know what not only the coffee its just everything different here every single thing. please try enjera
The coffee ritual was beautiful. The woman looked so happy and proud to share her beautiful work with the world. I wish she got an interview, I feel she has so much insight and stories to tell.
thanks so much to you about feeling what i thinking
Ethiopia. Land of the beautiful women and the best food in the world. Love, from Kenya 💕
I was justing thinking how beautiful his cohosts are! Amazing beauty! I lived in Kenya, off and on a for several years, and there are beautiful people there too❤
Yes they are ❤
Yeah, i almost thought sony choose the most beautiful ladies in town, but most of them are beautiful
> Land of the beautiful women
oof gross no thanks. So off-putting!
@@xoseanaxo5538 😬🤒☠☠
As an Indian, I feel the Ethiopian food culture is very much similar to that of the Indian platter. Even the places look very much familiar as if I have been there. Love the culture of Gursha..Thanks to Sonny for introducing Ethiopian food. Am definitely gng to try it some day. Love you Ethiopian brothers and sisters ❤
there are some indian tribe that belived migrated from Ethiopia back in a day. India and Ethiopia have strong relation that lasted for century. If you come to Ethiopia, You Don't feel like anoutsider. This is what most of my indian friends usually says.
@@desstadessta yes after watching the video found some good read. Also the ingredients of berbera is very much similar to the 'sambhar podi' or 'kulambu podi' in India. It's just that the procedure of cooking might be different. Also Injira is analogous to our Appam, Dosa which is also made of fermented batter to which adds the distinct flavour of sourness.
@@suryafernwahs we Have a lot of similarities. We gotta dig our history more and find out accurate information.
Indian food and Ethiopian food are generally EXTREMELY similar, including the strong dichotomy between the cultures of meat eating and vegetarian/veganism.
Ooh do try, I'm Ethiopian and my Indian friends love the food. Plenty of vegetarian options too if you don't eat beef.
The people of Ethiopia are so beautiful
Oh man, this video reminds me of my trip to Ethiopia last year. The welcoming smiles of the Ethiopian people, the pleasant weather, and the sweet aroma filling the streets. This video makes me want to go back soon. Thank you for posting it.
Was in Ethiopia last year and i fell in love with Ethiopia. Especially the road trip from addis ababa to moyale. God continue to bless Ethiopia ♥ ❤❤❤❤

So thrilled the world is getting more exposure to Ethiopian cuisine - their vegetarian meal is so diverse and flavorful!!!! Kitfo is the REAL DEAL MAN!!! I miss it so much. If you guys are in the US - DC, Atlanta, Seattle or Houston, you've got to go get some Ethiopian food. I love the way Sonny describes the textures and taste of every dish....it makes us feel like we're actually there!! epic!!!
There is a really great Ethiopian restaurant in Oakland, California called Blue Nile. It's delicious and the service is amazing!
True, they can also find Ethiopian foods almost everywhere in the world. It's just that infectious! Don't you agree?
Don't forget Las Vegas we just got Little Ethiopia 🇪🇹 there now..
Another fun fact about Ethiopian culture: i went to a restaurant on my own one day and ordered my meal. Other Ethiopians came and sat on my table because they didn't want me to eat alone since food is best enjoyed with others
The culture and the way they treat eachother is so beautiful
I'm blasian and I love Ethiopian food! The injera plate with all the goodness is heavenly! I crave it often. Love that series 👍
Finally!!! I've been waiting for this video release for two months. I'm glad you presented the awesome food of my country 🇪🇹 ❤❤❤ But they don't usually add maize in injera. It's purely made of teff flour. Those who add maize flour do it because it's cheaper.
Haha this reminds me of the line from "My Cousin Vinny"
"No self-respecting southerner makes instant grits"
Ethiopia has been on my list of places to visit for years now. I wish world travel was cheaper!!
Thank you I was about to say that it's some how adultration.
As an Ethiopian thank you for introducing some of our traditional meals... & everybody under the comment thanks for being honest & humble for my country...
What a day in Addis Ababa with Sonny. I’m so happy to be the part of this episode. Thanks for sharing this. Also it was great to meet you!
P.S I had the best Doro Wot inside Merkato.
Why didn't you tell him we don't add maize to prepare injera?
@@phoenix0000 injera is made from 100%Teff.
@@birhanumesele6419that was exactly what I was saying
@@birhanumesele6419thank you for the reply on what Injera is made of…I googled it and even found a recipe! At 50 years old, I still learn something new everyday.
I’d also like to add that I’ve wanted to visit your country and city since I was a young girl. I had a school mate from Addis Ababa and she always talked so fondly about her home. I fell in love with it just through her stories and pictures. Now, I’m craving the food as well! 😃 Maybe one day soon I’ll have the privilege of visiting. Much love and peace to you and your family. ✌🏻🥰😊
Thank you for showing us round. I really want to visit now, I looks and feels amazing
I have nothing to say except one word as an Ethiopian: Thank you❤
as an indian i am so flabbergasted at the amount of similar foods
like i can literally name every food here in my local language that's so cool
shoutout to my Ethiopians fr 🤝
Even the word for roasting the coffee "Buna' is similar to "bhunna" in Hindi meaning dry roasting in general.
Tosa eyyyyy
@@arunima29 Actually "Buna" means Coffee. And the word for roasting is another word
There is 2000 year old ancient history connecting India and Ethiopia 🙏
My favorite meal between both of y’all are the lentil stews, I’m not even vegetarian but I love daal and Misir Wat!
As an ethiopian I am proud that people all around the world know about our country's tradition and our food ❤
Ethiopian Food is the BEST food I've ever tasted!! Growing up in Metro Detroit, I feel in love with The Blue Nile Restaurant in Trappers Alley Detroit in the 80's .
In 2000 I went on the internet and found Ethiopian spice mix recipes, injera and other dishes and have since recreated these dishes at home. Indian grocery stores have the necessary spices.
@ceilconstante640,
I,as well and The Blue Nile,bring back so many good memories 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.
@ceilconstante640,
Hamtramck,has an lot of stores that sell hard to find spices😍😍😍😍😍😍.
I'm from the USVI and live in Georgia, USA. I've had all of these Ethiopian dishes and more, and love it. Feels like home. #🇻🇮
I’m lucky enough to live in an urban center with a decently large Ethiopian and Eritrean immigrant population and have enjoyed their vegan cuisine for decades. It’s just part of the urban landscape here, and I didn’t realize how trendy and popular Ethiopian food has become in the US until recently. You can find shops that do a coffee ceremony and pop sorghum for snacks, and you can pick up bags of injera everywhere. It’s a distinctive cuisine full of very bold flavors and can be hard if you do not tolerate spicy foods (I don’t, so I have to order carefully).
I am Ethiopian and this is a very very very good representaion of our food and to some degree our Culture. Thank you!
You are doing more to unit the world than you know. Thank you for all of these amazing episodes!
I read about Ethiopian food in passing in an issue of National Geographic back in 2001. The article focused more on the megalithic churches of Ethiopia, but made mention of injera. I've wanted to try Ethiopian food ever since.
I love Ethiopian cuisine!!
ጪናውያን🌹
Vannieeats l love you
I have been a fan of the channel for more than 7 years and I must say, no one absolutely no other food reviewers brings out the raw content like you, specially today's episode on the ethiopian coffee. I myself is a coffee fnatic but witnessing the traditional way of how it has been made throughout the centuries in ethiopia brought a smile on my face.
Thank you brother and keep up the good work.
Teff is an awesome flour. It doesn't have any gluten, so those on a gluten free diet can have all they want of things made with teff. Teff is considered a super food because of its other healthy properties and nutritional values.
Injera is not at all hard to make if you mix it with regular flour or finely ground corn flour, but it is a bit trickier if you are making it out of teff only. It can be mastered with patience though. I have no problem doing it. Do realize that if you are making it only out of teff that it will be much darker though. It will be even dark grey. You rarely see real injera anymore, and usually not in Ethiopian restaurants in the United States and Europe. For most people it will be too sour. If you have developed that taste for sour though, you will be able to handle it just fine.
The "clarified butter" is much more than that. It is called Nitter Kibbeh, and it is not only clarified, but it also has certain herbs and spices in it too. Unlike what Sonny says, nitter kibbeh is not necessarily plant based. Outside of the fasting season, it uses real butter, but during the fasting season it uses margarine. Prior to the advent of margarine in the mid 20th century, some people just left it out, while others made it the sole concession to veganism.
In college I was addicted to Ethiopian harar coffee. It really did make it possible for me to maintain a 4.0 GPA at Harvard, and it got me all the way through a PhD at Cambridge University. I eventually had to break myself of the habit because it was giving me the jitters. I haven't had coffee since, though if someone offered me a cuppa, I'd have a hard time turning it down. Top grade harar is what coffee really should be. Once you've had it, no other coffee will do. Harar rarely comes pre-roasted, and never comes pre-ground. To get the full enjoyment of it, you should roast the amount you are going to use right before using it, and grind it while the beans are still hot. This will give you both the best flavour, and the biggest boost from it.
Wow impressive!
As Somali I'm really proud of Ethiopian ❤cuisine the similarities we have is mind-blowing tbh.

I live in Maryland where thanks to some of my Eritrean and Ethiopian brothers and sisters here I got to try some of the things here or at least I think (not too sure, language barrier and all). But beautiful people and good food. I would love to go to Ethiopia.
Well my brother we are here,don't worry for language
I once had 2 college classmates from Ethiopia. The land of delicious food and the gentlest people in the world. Unfortunately I haven't been to Ethiopia like you! Thank you very much for sharing. Love comes from Vietnam 💕
I had Injera one time at an African Cultural event at my university. I have literally not stopped thinking about it since. I finally found an Ethiopian restaurant that is near enough to me and I simply can't wait to go! I hope my food is half as good as I could imagine yours was
This episode was amazing. Lived in Ethiopia when I was a kid. Looking forward to the rest of the Ethiopia series!
After watching your last video in Ethiopia, I was eagerly waiting for you to release a video and I'm so glad to see you release it. Thank you for showing the best food of our country to the world.
Sonny did a video of street food in my native, Zimbabwe, and I honestly have to say that he comes across as extremely open-minded and unassuming. He doesn’t demean other cultures or look down on anyone, unlike most portrayals of African culture, people and food. I’ve never seen a more respectful host and food journalist (is that what they are called?) in all my years of watching food programming. He’s such a great and entertaining and informative host! Great and fantastic portrayal of Ethiopian food! Love this, and many thanks!
I'm a South African and i absolutely love Injera with meat
Where do you buy it... I want to taste it...
@@anitamhlongo4443 there are a few Ethiopian restaurants in Johannesburg. About three that I can think off
@@moriti411 Thanks... where exactly I'm also based in Jozi. Thanks🌸🌼🌷
@@anitamhlongo4443 there is one called 'The Habesha' in maboneng and one called 'Queen Sheba' restaurant in Norwood. You can Google them for their directions and contacts

Ethiopian food is fantastic, unique, sophisticated and delicious. It's one of the world's great cuisines. I feel sorry for people who have not discovered it yet.
I drink only Ethiopian Yergacheffe from the Marquis Company here in the States. They import the beans and roast it themselves. The beans are so oily and the crazy thing is once you let the cup cool a little its like drinking a cup of Carmel.
In Swahili 🇹🇿 coffee is Buni, how similar to Bunna 🇪🇹
I watched an old Tony Bourdain episode a while back that highlighted Ethiopian cuisine, and it made me wish that it was more widely available here in the west! It all looks delicious
If you like sour flavours, then it will be right up your ally. I think the reason why doro wat is so popular in the west is because it is the exception to the rule. All of the rest is quite sour, and isn't favoured by most Americans. If you happen to be among the few who like sower foods, if you can sit down with a jar of extra strong dill pickles and a loaf of really strong sour dough bread, you might like Ethiopian cuisine. If you like your coffee black and strong (no sugar or cream) then Ethiopian harar coffee is definitely for you. Tibs is another you might like. It is cooked beef with berbere spice. Most westerners can handle tibs. Shiro wat is something else most westerners will enjoy even though there is not meat in it.
Now you know three things to order on your first trip to an Ethiopian restaurant the first time around if you are able to find one.
There's a lot of Ethiopian food in and near Washington, with its big Ethiopian community.
@@R32R38The best Ethiopian food I've had outside of Ethiopia was in Washington, DC. I agree that there are some very fine Ethiopian restaurants there, and there have been for a very long time.
@@ChompchompyerdedI’ve had a few Ethiopian dishes. When I was at a parochial, boarding school I had a school mate from Addis Ababa and she would make the most lovely dishes. Our school was vegetarian and we both worked in the cafeteria. All of the students have a job that they must apply for, have an interview and ultimately get hired - so everyone works while attending the high school.
We would have one day a month where anyone could submit a recipe to make for the entire student and teacher population, because we had students from all over the world.
My favorite Ethiopian meals were:
Potato and cabbage Atkilt (a family recipe) with Vegetarian chicken Doro-Wat.
And… Kik-Wat with Injera.
😋🇪🇹💕
@@Chompchompyerdedas a side note, my second favorite international food submitted to the cafeteria was (vegetarian) Jollof Rice with fufu. That was submitted by M u ‘sa, my mate from Nigeria. I would love to visit both countries one day soon. ✌🏻🥰💕
20 mnutes well spent..i dont watch your videos often, but this is gold..the editing, the interaction, the knowledge, it has everything..its like watching a full documentary about food in ethiopia..salute
The way Sonny said "Misir." 😂😂😂 It sounded like "Miss ear."
There's something so funny about how elegantly everybody eats with their hands Vs. Sonny who always just kind of throws the food back 😂
WOW literally a half a million views in less then 24 hours ….. quickly becoming the top favorites in food reviews good job Sonny
I'm lucky to live near an Ethiopian restaurant. The food isn't expensive and they give you SO much. One injera can easily fill you up with the meat or veggie dishes.
Great job on introducing our cultural food mahi...I'm so proud of you
I learned about Ethiopian food after watching your video.
I'm really impressed with what you do. You are a true inspiration to me and I appreciate the effort you put into this video.
Those women are insanely beautiful and Ethiopian food is amazing
Good thing about them is that they love men from their culture
so I’m beautiful? 🤩

Food looks great but side note, the Ethiopian lady was drop dead gorgeous
This is literally the best ever food review show. Thru sonny I've learnt to respect and enjoy human diversities and their cultures
I am from Namibia, one day I wanna visit Ethiopia just to taste Dorowat
You can make it at home it's ain't that complicated ...you can make the spice blend at home (plenty of TH-cam videos out there on how to make the spice blend ) and follow the recipe
Just beautiful. Ethiopia is on my bucket list. I have wanted to visit since I was about 14 years old and had a school mate from Addis Ababa. 🇪🇹 ❤
I love how you always get along so well with everyone that you meet and that you always seem to make them laugh. Sharing food and laughter can change the world. 💕😊
Btw, I’m loving these two gorgeous co-hosts/local guides. Both Mahider and Ayda seem like lovely ladies and quite the gentlewomen. I can’t wait for the rest of the episodes for this series to drop. Ahhh… peace! ✌🏻🥰😃
I'm so excited that you finally visited Ethiopia. Enjoy your stay and be safe
Ayda is so beautiful. ❤❤❤

Sir Sonny Is So Down To Earth Person.
Way To Go Bro.
Please Comeback again and Shoot Here In The Philippines.
Honestly ive been feeling really down borderline depressed last feew months and ur videos make me forget about my worries for the time being! Thank you for that
One of the many things Sonny does incredibly well is asking the hosts and hostess' meaningful questions about the foods, the history behind them AND describing and enjoying the experience as though it was his very first time. He's had raw meat, maize bread/pancake, sauteed EVERYTHING imaginable and yet he shows genuine appreciation for it without constantly relating it to every other experience he's had with something similar. Keeps it fresh and entertaining even though we've seen it several times now !
Sonny, we cannot express enough how amazing this show is and how thrilled we are to have you showcasing Ethiopian cuisine. However, there is one important point I'd like to bring up regarding Kitfo. It seems that the dish you presented as Kitfo is actually known as 'kun-Spagna' in Ethiopia. This particular dish is renowned for its intense spiciness and heat, as it consists of a lot of spices with minced raw meat. Kitfo, on the other hand, possesses a distinct taste and is prepared using a completely different method. We can't wait to surprise you with the authentic flavors of Kitfo during your next visit to Ethiopia.
There’s an Ethiopian restaurant in my city and I am going to try it after watching this! They have the Doro Wot on their menu. It’s looks good
This is insane. I had a completely different picture in my head! Thank you so much for this channel ❤
Oh boy, you made me miss my country so bad. been years since i went back. but i love your video! THANKS SONNY:)

This is my all time favorite food review show. I’ve learned so much about food and how people eat. And Sonny is the the perfect host. Always respectful. No matter what he is served. He relishes everything put before him.❤️🖤❤️
Finally we are back to Ethiopia videos. I've been waiting for this Sonny. Ethiopian food is delicious and the people were so welcoming. ❤Ethiopia
The international or national mainstream media failed to see the realities in every society.....Here comes the SMART & UNBIASED & PROFESSIONAL TH-camRS LIKE HERE are trying their best to uncover the reality for the world
...LOVE ETHIOPIA LOVE AFRICA
Nice video specially how he mentioned the diverse and vegan qualities of the diet, but there are few corrections. Regarding the fasting it is not just avoiding meat and alcohol, people also abstain from eating until 3 p.m for Christians and sunset for Muslims. Also kinda forgot to mention the tella drink you were having with the beyaynet. And at the butcher's shop, the mince you had was kunspagna not kitfo, kitfo doesn't have veggies and quite drenched with qibe. Overall excellent quality video and always loving your sense of humor safe travels ... peace and love
Orthodox Christians fast from dinner ( 8 _ 9 PM) to the next day 3 PM ( around 18 hrs).
Muslims fast from 4 Am in the morning to 6PM in the evening.
Yep it wasn't kitfo. The guides were shit.
Being born in Ethiopia , and having to grow up with Ethiopian culture and getting to love my country and culture ever since I was a little girl until now, I am so stoked that you finally went to Ethiopia and you’re getting to experience our culture and our food!

As a South African i have top 2 countries id love to relocate to
Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Jamaica 🇯🇲
My Patois understanding is 80% and my Ahmaric is 50%
But no Ethiopian want to live in Ethiopia. Everyone is leaving the country thanks to the cruelty of Abiy Ahmed the dictator.
@@abbysanimation4113 no what? the Ethiopians don't want to leave because of him instead make him loose his power simple. he has time to face justice just like everyone. if you leave, for me it is just a sign of giving up!!
Ethiopia is such an amazing country!!! Id give just about anything to go there! The people are super cool, the food is awesome, and the history is crazy cool, not to mention the girls are drop-dead beautiful!!! It's definitely one of my must-see countries.
Ethiopia, the land of hospitality and natural beautiful women. Gonna visit there soon to taste the food, it looks super delicious..

South 🇮🇳 Indian people this food 🫓 called DOSA 🤤 yummy ❤
No joke I don’t see countries shown that I wanna go to, but just this, makes me want to go to Ethiopia.
Coffee was foun in Keffa Ethiopia. The name is irvied from Keffa.
Best coffee in the world is Yerga Cheffa. Harrai is also top notch.
Ethiopian coffee is unlike the stuff you buy in the west which is mass produce din brazil, philiphies etc. Ethiopia is hand processed though. It is sold to top companies for a price. Italy etc. Coffee is main source of income for Ethiopia. Biggest export.
Ethiopia women are beautiful ❤
I had an Ethiopian coffee from Misty Valley about 10 years ago…and it changed my life.
I love Sonny’s attitude and his jokes, he seems like such a nice guy
