Ethiopian new years celebration || For the Denver Post
There are few things I love more than coffee. I drink it daily. Frequently (almost always) twice.
So when I learned that in Ethiopia, the brewing, drinking and sharing of coffee is a near-spiritual activity commemorated in a daily ceremony, I thought, “This is an idea I can get behind.”
Yesterday afternoon, underneath a pavilion in Del Mar Park, washed over with Ethiopian music, the smell of incense, and surrounded by hundreds of people, I photographed this revered coffee ceremony for The Denver Post.
It was bliss.
