Beloved in Wolayta

Much of the world loves the most well-known beverage made from Ethiopia’s ancient coffee trees. But people from Wolayta love the coffee tree for another drink you can make from this special tree: a rich blend of ginger, garlic, salt and butter called Hayttaa Tukkee. This special drink is served as a medicine to treat stomach aches and colds, to welcome guests or celebrate important ceremonies, or to bring delicious warmth on a rainy day. There is always a reason to enjoy Hayttaa Tukkee in Wolayta, and many reasons to be grateful for the delicious gifts the coffee tree provides!
