Hi there —
Caramel cold brew lovers, this one’s for you. Oh-so rich, oh-so buttery, this bestselling blend is a dark chocolate caramel for your mug... and hint hint, it's absolutely amazing over ice. Boon Boona’s Jebena Blend is roasty, yet balanced: a medium-dark blend of beans from Ethiopia and Tanzania with a full, chocolaty body, a dash of nutmeg, and a lingering sweetness like a shot of caramel syrup pooling at the bottom of your cup. Delicious.
Tastes Like: Dark chocolate, Caramel, Toasted Nuts
Why I'm Obsessed: In a world of lighter-roast specialty African coffees, this one is for the bold at heart! When we first started working with Boon Boona, Jebena’s intense, chocolate-caramel profile and natural sweetness made this coffee one of our immediate best-sellers. Jebena Blend is a great way to appreciate the roastier, more decadent side of the historical birthplace of coffee. Jebena, pronounced “JEB-un-na”, is a traditional clay coffee pot found across the Horn of Africa – some historians believe that coffee has been brewed in jebenas since as early as 1100 AD! Coming from an Eritrean family, Boon Boona founder and CEO Efrem Fesaha grew up with the traditional coffee ceremony performed by Eritreans and Ethiopians, the way that many people from this region prepare their daily cup of coffee. In the ceremony, ground coffee and hot water are boiled together in the jebena, and the grounds are filtered out through a mesh made of horsehair. As a guest at a coffee ceremony, it’s expected that you’ll drink no fewer than three cups of coffee throughout the event – so go ahead, keep refilling!
Bottom Line: Jebena Blend is excellent as a crowd-pleasing drip, a chocolate-toned espresso or cold brew! You’ll love this African coffee blend if you love dark chocolate, caramel sauce, or smooth, nutty flavor profiles.
