In Eritrea, jebana — the traditional coffee ceremony — is not just a drink, it's a ritual of community and welcome. This photograph captures a vendor at the Merkato in Asmara, surrounded by the clay pots that anchor this centuries-old tradition. A rare and deeply personal window into Eritrean daily life, taken by a photographer who knows this culture from the inside.
