Coffee from around the world

Since all coffee is not created equal, lets dive a little bit into the different cupping notes you can expect from types of coffee based on their origin.

Ethiopian coffee- Ah yes, going back to where it all started back in the coffee forests of the Ethiopian plateau. This coffee typically has a winey taste to it and offers fruitlike and floral type notes with a blueberry aftertaste which may not be everyone’s first choice when it comes to coffee. Never the less, it’s still a pretty popular type of coffee.

Colombian coffee- A personal favorite, this coffee often has more of your chocolate and nutty type notes to it. The way the beans are grown at higher altitudes and then processed makes the quality so much better. A well-balanced cup of coffee with an amazing aroma is what you can expect from Colombian coffee.

Sumatran coffee- If you’re looking for a more earthy type of coffee, this should do the trick. Sumatran coffee isn’t really known for it’s notes so much as it’s overall body and acidity. This coffee tends to be more spicy and give earthy characteristics like cedar and tobacco.

Costa Rican coffee- A very versatile type of bean, Costa Rican coffee does well from light to dark roast. It has fruity and floral notes that, when roasted light, make it a bright and smooth cup of coffee. When roasted dark, it becomes very full bodied, making it great for a French press or espresso.
