Learn about the top ten coffee producing areas in the world and introduce the origin of fine coffee beans.

Number one Ethiopia: the original taste of coffee

Annual output: 396000 tons

"the delicate floral and sweet fruit flavor that can be brought out by a cup of water washed by Yirgacheffe is unparalleled, or sun-treated Sidamo, sweet and atmospheric, is the most classic top representative of Ethiopian coffee."

-- Lorenzo Perkins, Director of Education, Cuv é e Coffee

Ethiopia is the birthplace of the famous Arabica coffee beans, and people have always maintained the tradition of harvesting wild coffee beans. The coffee garden with an elevation of more than 1500 meters has formed a unique coffee style after more than a thousand years of evolution and adaptation. Ethiopian coffee grown in the natural wild environment is called "wilderness coffee". It retains the most primitive and natural taste of coffee beans and has the most direct and full expression of the local environment.

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

Of the nine major coffee producing areas in Ethiopia, Hidamo and Yegashafi are the most outstanding. Yega Xuefei originally belongs to the sub-region of Hidamo, which is independent because of its special flavor. Because of its rich and complex fruit aroma, it has become an international hit almost overnight, becoming a hot target for experts and expensive.

Second place Kenya: an unforgettable coffee experience in this lifetime

Annual output: 45000 tons

"if I can only drink one kind of coffee in the future, then I choose to drink Kenyan coffee."

-- Brian Jones, author of Dear Coffee, I Love You, a well-known professional coffee website

Kenya has a short history of coffee. Arabica coffee varieties were introduced at the beginning of the 20th century, and more Bourbon varieties from Brazil were cultivated later. In the early British colonial period, a perfect cultivation management system was established for the Kenyan coffee industry. The lower temperatures in the high-altitude mountains of Kenya prolong the ripening period of coffee beans, which can fully accumulate the complex aroma of the fruit. Unrestrained acidity and heavy aromas of fruit, such as blackcurrant and grapefruit, constitute the rough ripening characteristics of Kenyan coffee.

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