Ethiopian coffee
Kaffa region export
Ethiopian coffee refers to beans grown in Ethiopia, widely considered the birthplace of coffee cultivation.
Ethiopian varieties are prized for their distinctive floral and fruity notes, often with wine-like or berry flavors.
The country produces both wild-grown and cultivated beans, with regions like Yirgacheffe and Sidamo lending their names to sought-after varieties: I'll have the Ethiopian coffee—it's more complex than the Colombian.
