Among the many peculiar museums around the world, one of them is the Coffee Museum in Ethiopia. Well, in fact it will be, since it is inaugurated this year although it still does not have a fixed date since its creators want everything to be perfect since coffee is something very important in this country and drinking it becomes a ritual. . The city chosen to host this special museum is Bonga, capital of the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples region, a place that is also said to be the origin of the cultivation of the coffee plant.
The City Council has reported that the cost of the realization of this museum could reach 1.2 million euros, a cost that has been fully covered with the donations that the citizens made to carry it out and with the funds that the City Council administration also put for that purpose.
In the Museum you can see all the varieties of coffee in the region and learn the history that this drink has in this country. Next to the building there will be a café search center, a restaurant and various rooms for exhibitions and meetings. Without a doubt a very special place that will make Bonga a much more attractive place for tourists. It will be the second Coffee museum of the world after the one that opened in Guatemala in 2000.
In Ethiopia It is an authentic ceremony to drink coffee, regardless of where you drink it. The table is first prepared by burning incense, after washing the white beans and crushing them with your hands and then toasting them. When ready, it is served by boiling in a berekha, which is a special cup that does not have a handle, and it is filled to the brim, starting to be drunk a little at a time. They usually have at least three cups there at one time, which is supposed to give you a special blessing.
