This kind of grass with long leaves has great vitality and grows vigorously as long as there is water, and once cut off, it will soon grow again. Every holiday, party day, shopping malls, restaurants and living rooms are covered with a layer of "Cottmar" grass. The green "Kotma" grass sends out a fresh breath, expressing the Ethiopian people's love for life and their desire for a new life.

Do you know? The root of coffee is in Ethiopia. It is said that the word coffee in English also comes from the place name "Kaffa" in Ethiopia. Legend has it that around 900 AD, when a shepherd in the Cafa region of Ethiopia was grazing in the mountains, he found that the sheep were competing for a kind of red berries. After eating, the sheep were excited and reacted abnormally. The shepherd was scared all night because he thought his sheep had eaten some harmful food. Who knew the sheep were safe and sound the next day. This unexpected discovery prompted shepherds to collect the wild fruit and boil juice to quench their thirst. He felt that the fruit juice was mellow and excited after drinking it. So he began to plant this plant, which led to the development of large-scale coffee cultivation, and the name of coffee evolved from the curry method. After that, coffee spread from Ethiopia to the world.
