Asian coffee growing area

Continuing our bean belt tour, let's visit Asia and its two main coffee growing areas: Vietnam and Indonesia.

Vietnam appeared on the coffee planting map in the 19th century and established its own plantation system to become an economic power. Production was interrupted by the Vietnam War, and although production was quite low, production finally resumed. In the mid-1980s, allowing privately owned coffee farms once again boosted the industry. Since then, production in Vietnam has grown steadily, reaching 3 billion pounds in 2014, second only to Brazil.

But when it comes to coffee, people naturally think of some exotic names, such as Java and Sumatra. Java coffee production began in the 17th century, originally invented by the Dutch, who began to export coffee to the rest of the world. To this day, we know and use the term "a cup of java".

Indonesia produces about 6% of the world's coffee, but it provides the world with unparalleled "old coffee". Like wine and cheese, coffee beans have a unique mellow taste and reduced acidity after being preserved in a warm and humid climate for a period of time.

Coffee is produced in many countries, even in the United States (mainly on the big island of Kona). More than half of American adults drink coffee every day. However, according to this article in the Atlantic, the United States is not even in the top 10 for consumption. The Netherlands topped the list with 2.4 cups a day. From major coffee producing areas such as Brazil, Vietnam and Colombia to small coffee producing countries such as Peru and Kenya, we are fortunate to taste coffee from all over the world.
