Rahiel (CQ) pours out freshly roasted Yirgacheffe coffee beans to be ground and then brewed in the earthenware vessel, a jebena (CQ), during an Ethiopian coffee ceremony at Boon Boona in Renton on Saturday. The coffee shop celebrated its one-year anniversary all day with repeated roastings and pours. Boon Boona means “coffee, coffee.” These beans are from Ethiopia and Rahiel says coffee dates back 1,000 years with its discovery in the highlands there. (The jebena in front of her, with pour spout, has the origin of its name in Amharic). Traditional ceremonies are often done in East African homes.
