Yekemeum Shai: Ethiopian Soap

While we wait the remaining months for our new baby we are taking the time to learn about Ethiopian culture and some basics of the Amharic language. We would like to share some of this with you through a fundraiser we are conducting to off set our adoption costs.

If you know us well, you know that we make soap. You have probably received soap from us as a gift or possibly have purchased soap from us. We decided to make a special Ethiopian soap as our fundraiser. We crafted this soap after Ethiopian spiced tea, Yekemeum Shai. Yekemeum Shai is a black tea with cardamom, cinnamon, and clove spices in it. Yekemeum Shai literally means “spiced tea.” Our Yekemeum Shai soap contains Palm, Coconut, and Caster oils for a smooth moisturizing lather; and essential oils from black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, and clove as well as ground dried cardamom for an amazing fragrance resembling the drink.

If you would like to support us through the purchase of Yekemeum Shai soap, we have priced it at $5 a bar. Even if you are not interested in our Ethiopian soap we encourage you to consider some of our other soaps. All sales help us fund our adoption. All of our other soaps are priced at $4 a bar or $12 for 4 bars.

Current soaps available:
