Spices, Seasonings, Herbs

All you need to make a deliciously fragrant, spiced, clarified butter or Nitter Qibbeh - a cornerstone of Ethiopian Cuisine.
When making spiced butter, we follow the same method used to create ghee. This involves delicately separating the butterfat from the milk solids and water, resulting in a remarkably aromatic and flavorful cooking fat. Not only does this clarified butter boast a higher smoke point, but it also enjoys a longer shelf life compared to regular butter.
Get creative by using it to add depth to meat browning or a new twist to your morning scrambled eggs. This stuff is gold!
Ingredients
Verbenaceae herb (koseret), Ethiopian cardamom (korerima), nijella seeds (tiqur azmud), bishop’s weed (netch azmud), fenugreek (abish)

Nostalgic Anbassa

Bold, spicy, and unmistakably Ethiopian — Mitmita is a vibrant, fiery spice blend that packs an unforgettable punch. Known for its brilliant orange-red hue and intense heat, this finely ground blend of bird’s eye chili peppers, cardamom, and other warm spices is a beloved staple in Ethiopian cuisine. 
Traditionally, Mitmita, with its fiery heat and aromatic complexity, is used to enhance the taste of raw beef dishes like kitfo and gored gored, but its versatility goes far beyond. Sprinkle it over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and lentils for a spicy kick, or stir it into scrambled eggs, stews, and sauces for a bold, aromatic touch.
Ingredients A blend of Bird's Eye Chili Pepper (mimita), Ethiopian cardamom (korerima), Verbenaceae herb (koseret), salt (chew)

<h2 class="h3">ቡና ~ BUNNA ~ COFFEE</h2>
This design is inspired by the magic that happens when people gather over coffee. We reimagined the beautifully adorned hand as a cross between a traditional Ethiopian tattoo and intricate henna designs.
The famed Ethiopian coffee ritual is an experience for all the senses. Conversation flowing, the aroma and sound of the roasting beans, the wafting of burning incense, passing tiny cups full of the precious liquid while being careful not to spill any of it, and that first sip that erases all fatigue and worries. This ritual is a visceral experience. It offers a window to slow down and find sweetness in everyday life and magic in familiar moments. A simple invitation of 'buna enteta' (let's have coffee), can mean a candid conversation over a humble cup of coffee or a big feast complete with music and dancing. Rituals can last for hours as the buna is roasted, ground, brewed, and drunk. It is an essential safe place for the young and the old to meet, where topics such as politics, community, and gossip are discussed. What is this design making you think of or remember? For me, it's bringing back memories of my great-grandmother with her elaborate tattoo and her keen sense of style. If you are new to all of this, please consider this your invitation to immerse yourself in all this magic at home. This t-shirt is soft and lightweight, with the right amount of stretch. It's comfortable and flattering for both men and women. • 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors contain polyester) • Shoulder-to-shoulder taping • Side-seamed

Berbere – the real OG of Ethiopian spice blends. 
Ours starts with chili pepper that we source from a family farm in Fenote Selam, Ethiopia. We then add korerima, garlic, shallots, ginger, nigella seeds and other aromatics. Everything is then sun dried and milled to perfection. Resulting in a blend that is balanced, earthy, complex, warm but not bursting with heat, and beautiful a deep red-orange in color. Our berbere is prepared with a recipe handed down through generations with time-tested methods.
Berbere is a versatile seasoning. Use it to make sauces and soups...marinades and roasts...and so much more!
Ingredients A blend of Chilli peppers (zala berbere), Ethiopian cardamom (korerima), garlic (nech shinkurt), shallots (ye abesha shinkurt), ginger (zingibil), Nijella seeds (tiqur azmud), bishop’s weed (netch azmud), Ethiopian holy basil (bessobela), fenugreek seeds (abish), rue (tenadam), salt (chew)

Berbere - Ethiopian Chili Pepper Blend

This tee is a love letter to a fading memory—the Agip gas stations that once lit up the streets of Addis Ababa with their bold yellow signs and six-legged fire-breathing dog. More than a place to refuel, Agip stations were landmarks. They marked the rhythm of daily life: the early morning school runs, weekend road trips, casual conversations over the hood of a taxi, and the everyday comings and goings that made Addis feel like home.
Agip—short for Azienda Generale Italiana Petroli—was founded in Italy in 1926 and became a symbol of post-war modernity and industrial optimism. When the brand expanded into Ethiopia, it brought with it the promise of progress and connection—paved roads, bustling city life, and a little flash of Italian flair in the Horn of Africa.
For many of us, the sight of an Agip sign takes us back to a city in motion—a nostalgic Addis with its layered music, laughter, and dusty afternoon light. Though the stations are no longer there, their imprint lingers, and this shirt is our way of keeping that memory alive.
Made for comfort and designed with intention, the Agip Nostalgia Tee is for those who carry pieces of the past with them—in their stories, their kitchens, and now, in their closets.
 • 100% combed and ring-spun cotton • Pre-shrunk fabric • Side-seamed construction • Shoulder-to-shoulder taping We create each product just for you as soon as you place your order! This personalized approach means it might take a little longer to arrive, but it also helps us avoid overproduction and reduce waste.

Addis Nostalgia Series II: Agip

"I was born in Addis Ababa. I grew up in the unique urban culture of the city. Addis for me is more than a city, it is a vibe, a way of living. Much of Addis Ababa we grew up in is changing – the Addis I remember from the late 70s, 80’s and 90’s is so different from the present. But Addis still has kept its charm with its quaint cafes serving up the world’s best macchiato, sprawling markets where you can find anything from peppers to gold, colorful nightlife – from azmaris to the dance clubs, amazing food and so much more. For me, it is the small town feel while still being the capital. Do you remember taking the bus from Shiro Meda where people vehicles and animals shared the same road, getting off at Legehar to buy peanuts or sugar cane from the street vendors, walking to Ambassador to catch the latest feature back when going to the cinema was more than entertainment, it was our only window to the outside world, hoping on the Lada taxi to visit your family or zipping around town in a Beetle? This is for my nostalgia to everything Addis Ababa is to me. I am sure this will also bring back fond memories of Addis for you." This soft cotton tee has the right amount of stretch your young ones need for an active lifestyle. • 100% combed and ring-spun cotton • Athletic Heather is 90% combed and ring-spun cotton, 10% polyester • Pre-shrunk fabric • Side-seamed construction
