coffee regions
Where beans grow
Coffee regions are the geographic areas where coffee is commercially cultivated, concentrated in a belt around the equator between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
Major regions include Central and South America, East Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Each region imparts distinctive flavor characteristics based on climate, altitude, and soil: Ethiopian coffees tend toward fruity and floral, while Sumatran beans are earthy and full-bodied.
