Detailed description of the flavor and taste of the world's top boutique coffee bean varieties

Whether it is traditional commercial coffee or fine coffee, the classification of coffee is based on the production area first, followed by the classification of beans by size. The common fine coffee production areas are as follows:

Ethiopia: The original taste of coffee

Annual output: 396,000 tons

"A glass of washed Yirgacheffe can bring out exquisite floral and sweet fruit flavor, which is unparalleled; or sun-treated Sidamo, sweet and atmospheric, are the most classic top representatives of Ethiopian coffee."

Lorenzo Perkins, Director of Education, Cuvée Coffee

Ethiopia is the birthplace of the famous Arabica coffee bean, and the tradition of harvesting wild coffee beans has been maintained to this day. The coffee garden with an altitude of more than 1500 meters has formed a unique coffee terroir after more than a thousand years of evolution and adaptation. Ethiopian coffee grown in natural wild environment is called "wilderness coffee", which retains the most original and natural taste of coffee beans and has the most direct and full expression of terroir.

It is worth mentioning that most of the coffee in Central and South America has been introduced, Ethiopia is a rare native place, and there are countless native wild varieties that have not yet been discovered.

Among Ethiopia's nine major coffee-producing areas, Sidama and Yegashefi are the most outstanding. Yejia Xuefei was originally a sub-production area of Sidamo, which was independent due to its special flavor. The rich and complex fruity flavor made it an international hit almost overnight, making it a sought after object for connoisseurs and expensive.

Kenya: The coffee experience of a lifetime

Annual output: 45,000 tons

"If I could only drink one kind of coffee in the future, I would choose Kenyan coffee."

Dear Coffee, I Love You by Brian Jones

Kenya's coffee history is not long, Arabica varieties began to be introduced in the early twentieth century, and more Bourbon varieties from Brazil were cultivated later. During the early British colonial period, a perfect cultivation and management system was established for Kenya's coffee industry. The cooler temperatures of Kenya's higher elevations lengthen the ripening period of coffee beans, which in turn allow for the accumulation of the fruit's complex aromas. Unrestrained acidity, rich aroma of fruit, such as blackcurrant, grapefruit, etc., constitute the characteristics of Kenya coffee rough maturity.

Kenya pays more attention to the cultivation of coffee varieties. SL28 developed by professional team is a direct branch of bourbon coffee beans and is the best representative of Kenya coffee quality and flavor.

Colombia: The Joy of Exploring Diversity

Annual output: 660,000 tons

"Many small coffee farmers in Colombia grow, harvest and process their beans independently, and there are some refreshing single-lot coffees whose quality reflects the ingenuity of the coffee farmers and the unique terroir in which they live."

--Ryan Knapp, Manager, Madcap Coffee Company

The biggest feature of Colombia coffee is its diversity of styles. If compared with wine, it is like a champagne producing area where big factories and small farmers coexist. It has both standardized stable styles and interesting and changeable small yield stars. Overall, Colombia coffee is fresh and fruity. Colombia coffee producers have a very professional roasting technology to maximize the quality of coffee beans.

Fourth place Guatemala: Surprising upstart

Annual output: 186,000 tons

"Coffee from this small Central American country has been outstanding in recent years: harmonious, sweet, soft, full of aroma, tasting it as if it were exploring its roots (Mayan culture)."

Pure Coffee blogger Bill Walsh

Guatemala coffee with its unique style, in recent years among the world's coffee producing areas. In the cool volcanic zone, coffee beans develop complex aroma layers and full taste, reminiscent of the ancient Mayan culture here, deep and mysterious.

Fifth place (tied) Costa Rica: good mountains, good water, good coffee

Annual output: 84,000 tons

"My love for Costa Rica comes from warm people, beautiful scenery and, of course, amazing coffee."

--Connie Blumhardt, publisher of Roast magazine

Costa Rican coffee beans are mainly Arabica coffee beans, processed by washing, bright in style, mild in acidity and excellent in sweetness. The Costa Rican Coffee Association manages the coffee industry throughout the country and has specialized scientific institutions to discover and improve the quality of indigenous coffee.

Fifth place (tied) Honduras: Pride in troubled times

Annual output: 252,000 tons

"Outstanding Central American origin, two brands located on both sides of the mountain range, showing very different styles. El Cielito's César Fernandez's coffee has fruity aromas of cranberries, raisins and apricots, while San Luis Plane's Mariano Mejía's coffee is more green tea, red gallons and hazelnuts."

--Cafe Grumpy Coffee Purchasing Cheryl Kingan

The turmoil may have made Honduras a seemingly obscure coffee-producing country, but it is one of Central America's leading coffee exporters, second only to Guatemala in terms of exports.

Indonesia: It seems that you can forget cat poop

Annual output: 702,000 tons

"Java and Bali coffee producers focus on cultivating and processing specific varieties of coffee beans, refining the process."

David Buehrer, Greenway Coffee Company

Indonesia has not only the controversial civet, Sumatra's mantinin coffee is rich and mellow, Java coffee is mellow, all of which are well-known classics of Indonesian coffee. Indonesia is a region where cheap coffee and fine coffee coexist. The mass-produced coffee gives the local coffee a feeling of low overall standard. In fact, Indonesian fine coffee has always enjoyed a high reputation in the international market.

8th (tied) Rwanda: rising star

Annual output: 14760 tons

"We've never seen a growing region grow so fast, going from a non-coffee producing country to one of the star regions for hosting international coffee competitions in eight years." This unprecedented rate of growth is happening right before our eyes."

--Geoff Watts, Vice President, Intelligentsia Coffee

8th (tied) Panama: Heritage

Annual output: 6000 tons

"Panama's specialty Geisha is a drink you never get tired of. Although native to Ethiopia, it thrives in Panama. Panama's Rose Summer has won numerous awards in international competitions. Although historically underrated, some of the best work of small coffee farmers has propelled Panama to the top of the world."

Sarah Allen, editor of Barista magazine

Ethiopia ranks first in the world's top ten coffee producing countries
