To Honor & Showcase
We shine a light on the beauty, depth, and tradition of the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, celebrating the rituals that have brought families and communities together for generations.
Celebrating Ethiopia’s
Coffee Ceremony
At Warka Coffee, we preserve and promote Ethiopia’s timeless coffee ceremony as a living cultural heritage that brings people together and builds meaningful connection. Founded by a visionary woman entrepreneur, our work goes beyond serving coffee—we create spaces for community, dialogue, and cultural exchange rooted in respect and tradition. Inspired by the legacy of the Warka tree, we share Ethiopia’s coffee story with the world while empowering women and using culture as a bridge for peace.
The story of Warka Coffee
Brewing heritage, empowering women, and building peace. One traditional coffee ceremony at a time.
Every cup of coffee we share carries a story, one that began centuries ago under the shade of the Warka tree, a timeless symbol of community, gathering, and resilience. That’s where we find our name, and that’s where our mission begins.
At Warka Coffee, we’re more than a coffee place. We’re keepers of tradition. Founded by a visionary woman entrepreneur, our purpose is simple but profound: to preserve and promote Ethiopia’s timeless coffee culture and share it with the world. We believe that the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is not just a way to brew coffee, it’s a way to brew connection, respect, and peace.
