Скачать или смотреть Boon Boona Coffee celebrates East Africa's vibrant coffee culture

Coffee is part of the modern day culture here in the Pacific Northwest. But in East Africa, it has been a fabric of life for centuries.

"The word 'coffee' itself comes from the name of a town, the name of a city called Kaffa in Ethiopia. And Kaffa, Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica coffee beans," said Efrem Fesaha, CEO and founder of Boon Boona Coffee.

With its flagship roastery and cafe located in the heart of downtown Renton and another cafe in Seattle, Boon Boona celebrates the vibrant coffee culture of Eritrea and Ethiopia.

"The words 'boon' and 'boona' are really how we say coffee in East Africa," explained Fesaha. "Saying Boon Boona Coffee, it sounds nice on the tongue, but you're basically saying coffee in a few different languages and paying respects to where it comes from."

Fesaha grew up in Seattle. He was working in corporate finance when a 2011 trip to Eritrea inspired him the pursue his passion for coffee.
