Exotic Flavor

Several years ago, me and my pals went to an Ethiopian restaurant to try a different type of cuisine. Very interesting dining experience, where meat is served on unleavened bread which you tear up to eat the meat in question. It's essentially finger food, and quite delicious. However, they also served proper Ethiopian coffee, which is made by roasting the coffee beans before grounding and brewing it. Made for a subtle, earthy flavor unlike any other coffee I drank before. Ethiopia is supposed to be where coffee first originated, so it was definitely a treat to taste the authentic style. There's still lots of cultural techniques I'd like to try, like the one where coffee is brewed in hot sand. Curious how that would taste.
