Africa
Africa is the birthplace of Coffea arabica, and its growing regions read like a map of specialty's origins. From the heirloom landraces of Ethiopia to the high-grown washed lots of Kenya, East African coffees are typically known for bright acidity, floral and berry aromatics, and a tea-like clarity in the cup.
Central & South America
Central and South America grow much of the world's washed Arabica across long volcanic highlands. These regions are typically associated with clean, balanced cups, rounded sweetness, notes of cocoa and caramel, and a medium body, with the highest-altitude lots reaching into a brighter, crisper acidity.
Bolivia
4 regionsAsia-Pacific
The Asia-Pacific belt runs from the historic terraces of Yemen through the islands of Indonesia and on to India and the Pacific. Its regions are typically known for a fuller body and lower acidity, often with a deep, earthy or spiced character, shaped in part by distinctive processing traditions such as Indonesia's wet-hulled method (giling basah).
