The Kaffa (also called Kefecho) are primarily agricultural people living in southwestern Ethiopia. Their land is primarily mountainous, with many rivers and a rich source of coffee, musk, honey and a wide variety of agricultural and forest products. Traditional Kaffa society was divided into five major social classes consisting of the royalty, the nobility, commoners, occupational castes, and slaves. Relations between these classes varied in rigidity through time, but each class was traditionally associated with a particular subgroup locally called a clan.
