COFFEE FROM THE ORIGIN
Black Lion Café, serving the Best Ethiopian Premium Coffee since 2003. Fresh Ethiopian Premium Coffee Roasted on site.
OUR STORY
The story of coffee begins in the mists of legend according to which monks in caves and monasteries of the remotest plateaus of Ethiopia used it to keep awake during night prayers for centuries. They were first advised by a goat-herder, Kaldi, who fortuitously observed its refreshing effects on his goats.
