COFFEE CEREMONY

______

I’m very happy to be returning to beautiful Cornwall and the magical Sennen Cove for a special gathering at Sennen Summer Fayre. I’ll be sharing the ancient art of the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, to celebrate and spark conversation about this unique and special Ethiopian ritual, discussing its significance in society and the origins of coffee itself.

The ceremony will encompass the hand roasting of single origin Ethiopian coffee beans using a clay Mitad and brewed using the traditional terracotta Jebena coffee pot, accompanied by blessing herbs, frankincense and myrrh to ground and uplift.

The ceremony will include the use of vintage Ethiopian coffee ceremony objects and artefacts and feature my handmade ceramics.
