Of all the coffee-producing countries, Ethiopia is the most eye-catching one. Ethiopia is a country with changeable landforms and various nationalities, and its coffee beans grow in different regions. Coffee is the only thing that can be revered by more than 80 ethnic groups.

Ethiopia can be said to be the hometown of coffee, and the birthplace of most Arabica coffee beans in the world can be found in Ethiopia. At the same time, it is the seventh largest coffee producer in the world and the largest coffee producer in Africa, producing 260000 tons in 2006.

In addition, unlike other coffee-producing countries in Africa, the general public in Ethiopia has a habit of drinking coffee. 30% to 40% of the coffee produced in the country is consumed by its own people. In all respects, Ethiopia is almost equated with coffee, and coffee is indispensable to daily life.

Ethiopian coffee is mainly grown in the southern highlands between 1000 and 2500 meters above sea level. The soil here is well drained, slightly acidic, loose and has very good air permeability. Every geographical factor is essential to growing good coffee.

The natural characteristics of coffee beans include size, shape, acidity, texture, taste and aroma. Ethiopian coffee beans are small, fragrant and sour like wine, and are loved by coffee lovers. Because of its unique aroma and taste, it is often used in the production and variety improvement of beverages, ice cream and sweets.

Due to different planting methods, coffee can be divided into three types: forest-semi-forest coffee (Forest or semi-forest coffee), courtyard coffee (Garden coffee) and plantation coffee (Plantation coffee). 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. Coffee is located in the lower layer and gets a suitable growth environment 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 species.
