"From the birthplace of coffee to the crossroads of the world, she carries Ethiopia's soul in every cup."
🌿 Ethiopian Heritage
Born in the lush highlands of Ethiopia, where coffee was first discovered over a thousand years ago, Tilash grew up surrounded by the ancient traditions of her ancestors. From the rolling hills of Sidamo to the sacred ceremonies of the coffee ritual, her childhood was steeped in the rich aroma of freshly roasted beans and the wisdom of generations.
✈️ Journey of Courage
Leaving behind the familiar sounds of Amharic conversations and the comfort of her homeland, Tilash embarked on a journey that would test her resilience and define her character. With nothing but determination and the skills passed down from her grandmother, she arrived in the UAE carrying the sacred knowledge of Ethiopian coffee culture.
☕ Master of the Craft
In the bustling cafés of the Emirates, Tilash doesn't just serve coffee—she performs a daily homage to her heritage. Each cup is prepared with the precision of a traditional coffee ceremony, transforming a simple transaction into a cultural bridge between Ethiopia and the Gulf. Her gentle smile and meticulous attention to detail have made her a beloved figure among regular customers.

💬 Tilash Speaks
"ሰላም እንዴት ኖት ዛሬ" (Hello, how are you today?) When I wake up each morning in Dubai, I still smell the coffee beans from my grandmother's kitchen in Ethiopia. Every cup I serve carries a piece of home with me.
"You know," when I first arrived here, I was scared. New language, new faces, new everything. But coffee... coffee is universal. When I make coffee the Ethiopian way, people's faces light up. That's when I knew I found my purpose.
"My dream?" One day, I want to open a small Ethiopian café here. Not just serving coffee, but teaching the ceremony, sharing our stories, building bridges between my two homes - Ethiopia and Emirates.
"To my fellow Ethiopians," never forget where you come from. To my new friends in UAE, welcome to the birthplace of coffee through every cup I serve. We are all human, we all need connection.
