In this episode, I share my transformative journey with Ethiopian coffee - the coffee that completely changed how I understand and appreciate what coffee can be. I talk about my first experience ordering Ethiopian coffee online from a New York roaster, how the lemony aroma immediately caught my attention, and the shocking realization that coffee could taste fruity, bright, and completely different from the chocolatey, nutty diner coffee I was used to. I explain how that first sip opened my palate to a whole new world of coffee possibilities and sparked my deeper coffee journey.

I discuss why I believe Ethiopian coffee holds such a special place in the coffee world - not just for its historical significance as the birthplace of coffee, but for its ability to transform anyone's understanding of what coffee can taste like. I share thoughts on the current state of Ethiopian coffee, the importance of understanding the social and environmental factors affecting Ethiopian farmers, and why I'm excited to explore Ethiopian coffees again. Listeners will learn about the unique flavor profiles of Ethiopian coffee, its cultural significance in the coffee world, and gain insights into how a single coffee experience can completely shift your coffee journey and appreciation for black coffee.
