Thrice Blessed

Thrice Blessed is a coffee house in the Katapeshi town of Solku run by Feyise Kendi. In its common room, it serves coffee spiced with ginger, yebiye, and either sugar or salt, or brewed with cinnamon, cloves, and saffron.

In small private rooms, the full coffee ceremony is followed. According to the ceremony the coffee beans are roasted over a brazier, ground in a trough-shaped mortar, and then brewed three times. The light third cup is called the "blessing cup".

In this region, coffee is consumed as a precursor to business meetings, upon the arrival of guests, and after large meals. Thrice Blessed is a popular place to finalize business deals.
