Ethiopian Coffee on a Scottish Island
Description
Netsi, a coffee-loving Ethiopian transplant to the remote Scottish island of Whalsay, is turning her homeland’s rich coffee tradition into a local sensation—roasting beans by hand in a humble honesty box, connecting islanders to a ritual that once brought women together to share stories and support. Raised on a farm by her grandmothers, she brings that same warmth and care to her craft, transforming green beans into aromatic, oil-rich brews with a traditional touch. What began as a personal ritual in Orkney became a community-driven business when she saw no one else was offering freshly roasted Ethiopian coffee in Shetland. Locals like Ingrid Sutherland have embraced her offering, praising its quality and convenience—proof that even in the most remote corners, a little cultural magic can go a long way.
