Ethiopian Coffee
Coffee’s story begins in Ethiopia, where it has been woven into daily life, hospitality, and community for generations. From the traditional coffee ceremony to the diverse coffee growing regions, coffee is more than a beverage in Ethiopia. It is part of the culture, identity and connection.
Our family began roasting coffee in Ethiopia in 1992, and that tradition continues today at Bouvardia Coffee in Virginia. We roast in small batches, bringing together our heritage and our passion for showcasing the distinctive character of each coffee.
