What's So Great About Ethiopian Coffee?

Everything! As you probably already know, coffee comes from a variety of locations and places, but Ethiopia is a coffee producing region not be overlooked.

Many times, Ethiopian coffee will be light to medium bodied, and it has a bright acidity. Ethiopia does produce many coffee beans that are 100% Arabica, and you can count on them having a quality flavor because they are produced in a lush climate. These coffee beans thrive well because of the tropical rain forests that provide them shade and moisture, making for an excellent crop.

Furthermore, you can count on coffee coming from Ethiopia being of the utmost quality because it is most often produced by residential family farms, which account for about a third of the coffee that is harvested within that country. And by the way, did you know that Ethiopia is rumored to be the birthplace of coffee? Something to think about when looking for excellent beans for your delicious cup of Joe!

How is Coffee Grown?

What a fantastic question! There are specific conditions that coffee needs to be harvested in to have the best taste and flavor, and the regions that you will see it hail from are Africa, India, Indonesia, Hawaii, Central America, Northern South America, and the Middle East. These are all regions near the equator that have a more steady climate with a high rainfall, and if any of these factors ever vary, then the coffee harvesters work hard to irrigate and aerate the soil so that the coffee plant's root system has a generous amount of oxygen to thrive and grow. The best condition for coffee cultivation, however, is in higher altitudes at over 3,000 feet, even though this does have less oxygen for the plant, because it can grow slower and for a longer period of time for deeper and more mature flavors. The coffee plant itself will take five years to grow for the first crop to be harvested, which will then yield the equivalent of 1 pound of coffee beans, which really makes you appreciate what ya got in your everyday cup of Joe!
