Who I Am
About
Ethiopian coffee culture creator, storyteller, and the bridge between where coffee was born and where it's going.
My name is Husni. I'm the Habesha Barista — an Ethiopian coffee culture and lifestyle creator based in Dallas, Texas.
I grew up with coffee the way most Ethiopians do: not as a caffeine fix, but as a ritual. The smell of green beans roasting, the slow pour of the Jebena, the three rounds served with ceremony and conversation. Coffee in Ethiopian culture isn't a product — it's a language.
That upbringing is what drives everything I create. I make content because I believe Ethiopian coffee deserves to be understood, not just consumed. The specialty coffee world has fallen in love with Ethiopian beans — Yirgacheffe, Sidama, Guji — without always knowing the culture behind them. I'm here to tell that story.
What I Do
I create short-form video content across TikTok and Instagram covering Ethiopian coffee culture, specialty coffee education, brewing techniques, and lifestyle. Every piece of content I make is rooted in authenticity — I'm not performing a character, I'm sharing what I actually know and love.
I also work with brands who align with what I stand for: specialty coffee, quality, culture, and genuine craftsmanship.
The Numbers
70K+ followers. 400K+ monthly reach. 237K+ new viewers every month. 5.5%+ engagement rate. These aren't just numbers — they represent a community of people who genuinely care about coffee and trust what I share with them.
