Coffee, Ethiopia's Gift To The World

Coffee, Ethiopia's Gift To The World

By:


Every time you turn the coffee pot on, you are most likely preparing to experience the enjoyable taste of coffee from Ethiopia, which grows 70-80 per cent of the world's coffee beans.

It's Ethiopia that brought coffee to the world in the 16th century, and is still the biggest grower of the Arabica coffee wanted intensely by many people in the world.

Coffee Arabica is the only variety of coffee grown in Kaffa and Sidamo (Ethiopia's major coffee-growing regions). Coffee was named after the Kaffa region, which produces the premium Arabica beans in the world. Ethiopian coffee Arabica is smooth and full bodied, rich yet mellow, lacking the bitterness and pungency of coffees grown in other nations.

Ethiopian coffee is available in several varieties, each having its own smells and tastes. The three most important coffee-growing regions of Ethiopia are: Harrar, Sidamo and Ghimbi. One of the most well-liked dry processed varieties of the Harrar region is the Longberry (a larger bean that contains a trace of a wine flavor with a touch of acidity).

This region also produces Ethiopian coffee having aromatic hints of blueberries and blackberries. It is the aroma of Ethiopian coffee from Harrar that provides the aroma found in most espresso blends.

The Sidamo and Ghimbi regions mainly produce washed coffees. The coffee from Ghimbi region is well balanced, with a heavier flavor than coffee from the Harrar region. Coffees from Sidamo are lighter and mild, with a richer, more pleasant aroma.

Bear in mind, all types of Ethiopian coffee are never high roasted, no matter where they are grown. If you do so it would harm the rich character and body of the beverage so many have grown to love.

Ethiopia is proud to consistently provide coffee lovers with the best quality and most enjoyable flavor in every pot they brew. Ethiopian coffee obviously shakesur taste buds and bodies. A morning without it would definitely send many a person right back to bed.
