Coffee Origins: A Journey from Ethiopia to Your Cup

Understanding the origin of coffee brings greater appreciation to what’s in your cup. Each region adds its own flavor, culture, and story to the beans.

Where It All Began

Legend says coffee was discovered in Ethiopia by a goat herder who noticed his goats became energetic after eating red coffee cherries.

The Coffee Belt

Coffee grows between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn—known as the Coffee Belt. These countries shape the unique flavor of every bean:

• Ethiopia – Floral, fruity, tea-like
• Brazil – Nutty, chocolatey, smooth
• Colombia – Balanced, citrusy, bright
• Vietnam – Earthy, strong, often Robusta
• Indonesia – Spicy, full-bodied

A Note on Single Origin

“Single origin” beans come from one specific location and highlight the local flavor and terroir. Though we won’t dive into detail here, single origin is a key trend in specialty coffee today.
