Ethiopia is the birthplace of the famous Arabica coffee beans.

It is said that coffee was first discovered by shepherds in Essekafa, and the name of coffee evolved from Caffa. It is well-known as the "hometown of coffee".

The geographical environment of Ethiopia is very suitable for coffee growth.

Currently, about 25% of the Ethiopian population depends directly or indirectly on coffee production for a living.

Since most local farmers still care for coffee trees manually and do not use harmful pesticides and herbicides, most of the coffee produced in Ethiopia is organic.

According to different planting methods, coffee can be divided into three types: forest, semi-forest, courtyard and plantation.

60% of the coffee belongs to forest, semi-forest coffee. In such a wild coffee forest, pesticides are not used at all, but biological methods are used to control pests.

35% of the coffee is courtyard coffee. In this kind of coffee garden, the planting is three-dimensional, and the coffee is located in the lower layer, and the suitable growth environment is obtained in the shade of other crops. Fertilizers are mainly fallen leaves, withered grass and animal manure.

5% of the coffee belongs to plantation coffee. This is a modern way of growing coffee, which grows into forests, but uses new varieties and is planted in rows with other shade trees.

Due to different processing methods, coffee can be divided into washed coffee and sun-cured coffee.
