COFFEE MUSEUM

Coffee is a favored drink around the world however it is especially loved in its place of origin.  The coffee plant has played a major role in Ethiopian life for hundreds of years. It seems appropriate then that Ethiopia's national museum dedicated to coffee should be built in Kafa, the birthplace of coffee. This museum will be a center for research on Coffea arabica and will guide the visitor through the world of coffee production.  Visitors will gain a deeper appreciation of their favorite beverage.  

Whetted your appetite?  The National Coffee Museum is currently under construction in Kafa and is expected to open in 2011. Along with the museum, a ranger station and information center will be built on the compound.
