“Bunna Derswal!” In Amharic, this translates to “the coffee is ready.” And the time has come indeed. Oakland’s very own Brundo Ethiopian Spices will host regular Ethiopian Coffee Ceremonies every other Saturday from 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. beginning March 16th.
Join Brundo in exploring the ancient tradition of the Ethiopian coffee ceremony. A long upheld practice in Ethiopian culture, bunna ceremonies are still an essential part of daily life for most Ethiopians. Women in Ethiopian households invite family and neighbors for coffee, calling out “bunna derswal!” Brundo is calling out the same to the community.
Brundo is located at 6419 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland CA 94609. The cost for the ceremony is $5 per person and includes light snacks. There will be a special appearance from Brundo owner Fetlework Tefferi for a book signing for her newly released Ethiopian Pepper & Spice Book, a rare collection of history, culture and recipes. The book is available for purchase at http://www.brundo.com.
Guests can also enjoy this very special coffee ceremony in the comfort of their own homes with a ceremony kit on sale at the Brundo storefront and their website. At one of the coffee roasting classes, attendees can learn the whole coffee ceremony process. Contact lea(at)brundo(dot)com for more information on the class and schedules.
Next door at Cafe Colucci, there is also a delicious new brunch menu featured every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
