The name
In Amharic, እናት means mother. Everything here is cooked the way mothers cook in Ethiopia — slowly, generously, and meant to be shared from one plate.

The first pour — the strongest, brewed fresh from beans roasted, ground and boiled in the clay jebena.

Tona
The second round, brewed again from the same grounds — softer, for the conversation that follows.

Tear off a piece of injera with your right hand — the spongy flatbread is your plate and your spoon.
