Here's a word from our Founder and Owner:
My love for coffee began during my service in the United States Navy when he traveled to Ethiopia and witnessed his first coffee ceremony. Witnessing the beauty of that ritual, I realized that coffee has always been about sharing with others. From that day I wanted to see how other cultures shared the world's most cultivated bean from the Land of Kush. That's how the concept of KushBean was born in a small shop in an Airport of Ethiopia.
I've enjoyed several varieties of coffee from different cultural perspectives, like Turkish coffee, Korea Coffee, Ethiopian, French and even the Navy cup of turpentine. But what I remember the most are the conversations, smiles, and laughter with new friends. Now I hope to share my love and experiences with you over a cup of KushBean Coffee with you.
