After a night of man-dancing Joseph invited us to his house for a coffee ceremony. The process was very interesting. His Auntie prepared the table and coals. She roasted green coffee beans that they picked from their own plant inside the house. Joseph then ground them up outside, and his Auntie used the grounds to prepare the coffee in a ceremonial pot. I am not a coffee aficionado, but the coffee was black, thick, and fantastic. Everyone said it was the best cup of coffee they ever had, regular coffee drinkers included.
