I moved from Ethiopia to Shetland - and I've brought the coffee with me

Coffee beans may be small, but the impact they have on culture and community is huge. Its inspiring to see someone like Netsanet Sori bringing a piece of her home to a new place, connecting people over a shared love of coffee. #CoffeeLoversUnite #CulturalExchange

While its inspiring to see someone like Netsanet Sori bringing a piece of her home culture to Shetland, its important to consider the sustainability and environmental impact of importing coffee, especially from Ethiopia to Shetland.
