At present, more and more people like Peruvian coffee.

4. Costa Rica (Costa Rica)

Due to the special volcanic geology, high altitude growth terrain and low temperature growth environment of Costa Rica, the coffee trees here grow slowly, the coffee beans produced have the taste of precipitation over the years, and the smell of coffee beans is balanced and clear. It is famous for its rich berry flavor and rich fruit acidity.

All the coffee trees grown in Costa Rica are Arabica coffee trees, and the quality of coffee beans is better and more stable by improving the quality of coffee beans. Costa Rican coffee has full particles, ideal acidity and unique strong flavor. High-quality Costa Rican coffee is called "extra hard beans". This kind of coffee can grow above 1500 meters above sea level. The grain is full, the acidity is ideal, the aroma is unique and strong.

The mountains of Guatemala are very long, and the regional climate varies greatly, so it has created seven major coffee producing areas, each with different flavors and characteristics. Among them, the coffee in Antigua has a balanced and refreshing acidity, rich spice flavor, excellent sour taste and silky sweet taste, and the slightly volcanic carbon burning flavor makes Guatemalan coffee famous in the world.

6. El Salvador (El Salvador)

The topography of El Salvador is highland because it has two parallel mountains and the volcanic soil is rich in minerals. This special geographical environment makes El Salvador suitable for growing coffee.

The coffee trees in El Salvador are Arabica, mainly Bourbon and Pacas. Its coffee is light, fragrant, pure, slightly sour and refreshing in taste.

Second, African / Arab coffee: citrus and floral coffee beans with high acidity and low mellowness. This is the earliest place of origin of coffee, and the coffee produced in these areas has an attractive flavor.

1. Ethiopia (Ethiopia)

The coffee tree is native to the highlands of southwestern Ethiopia in Africa. It was originally a wild plant here. The name "coffee" comes from the Ethiopian town-"Kafa" (Kaffa). In fact, many coffee trees in Ethiopia are still wild plants, and the coffee fruits grown here are full-grained and slightly alcoholic.

Ethiopia is an important coffee producing country, and various forms of coffee cultivation can be found in Ethiopia, from wild coffee forests and semi-developed land, to traditionally operated plots of land, to modern plantations. About 50 per cent of coffee trees are planted at an altitude of more than 1500 metres.

two。 Kenya / Kenya (Kenya)

Kenyan coffee is mostly grown at 1500-2100 meters above sea level and is harvested twice a year. To ensure that only ripe berries are picked, people must tour the forest. Kenyan coffee is grown by small farmers. After they harvest the coffee, they first send the fresh coffee beans to the cooperative cleaning station. The washing station sends the washed and dried coffee to the cooperative in the form of "parchment coffee beans" ("parchment coffee beans" is the last state of coffee beans before peeling).

Kenyan coffee is characterized by obvious fruit aromas and acidity, with a hint of wine in the full-bodied taste. Kenyan coffee is mostly planted in the southwest and eastern plateau areas, the varieties are Arabica species, and are all washed coffee, the common varieties are Bourbon, Tibica / Typica, Kents, Riuri 11 and other four varieties.

Asia / Pacific Coffee: with earthy aroma and spice flavor, moderate acidity and mellowness. The coffee produced here has a long history and is full of earth flavor, so it is a very popular coffee variety.

1. India (India)

India has the highest coffee production in the world, and has both Robusta and Arabica. It is also one of the countries with both washing and tanning methods.

Indian coffee is grown mainly in the region from the Western Gaozhi Mountains in southern India to the Arabian Sea. The monsoon Malaba is a unique kind of coffee in India. This kind of coffee beans were exported to Europe from the coast of Malaba at that time. Because the raw coffee beans were hit by the sea breeze for a long time, the color (golden yellow) and taste changed, becoming a taste that Europeans are accustomed to and like.

The small-grain coffee produced in Yunnan, China is also well-known, has won international awards, and has a place in the coffee market share. Yunnan coffee because the history of planting is not long enough, there are still some deficiencies in technology. I hope Yunnan coffee can make more efforts and go up to the next floor in the future.
