Koseret — The Herb That Warms Every Kitchen

Koseret is a fragrant Ethiopian herb treasured for its ability to transform ordinary butter into niter kibbeh — the golden spiced butter that gives Ethiopian cooking its soul. With flavors reminiscent of basil, oregano, and sage, Koseret infuses dishes with depth, warmth, and a subtle floral note.

In Ethiopian kitchens, it’s simmered into butter with garlic, onions, and spices like cardamom and fenugreek to create an aromatic base for countless stews, lentils, and vegetables.

Beyond the kitchen, Koseret is also steeped as an herbal tea, celebrated for its soothing qualities and gentle, refreshing taste. Whether in butter or in a teacup, it’s an herb that bridges tradition with everyday wellness.
