The coffee tree of the Arabica species was first discovered growing wild in present day Ethiopia. Cultivation of this species spread to more than 75 countries around the world including India, Indonesia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Sun, rain, soil, cultivation techniques, harvesting and processing methods influence the character and quality of each country's "coffee of origin."
Knowing the origin of the coffee is only the first step. Coffee beans are further described by terms like, "strictly hard bean," "AA," or a regional name like Tarrazu or Antigua. Sound complicated? No problem.
