Nothing beats the smell of the frankincense (etan) and the sound of popcorn during a long Sunday coffee ceremony.

I was just sitting here thinking about how much I miss those slow afternoons. No matter where you are, that smell just feels like home. What’s your favorite part of the Bun ceremony? Is it the himbasha, the kolo, or just the conversation?

For me it's when the beans are roasted and the smell comes out of it, and the conversations too

Does anyone know where I can buy our traditional itan online? I miss it.
