Ethiopia

Meanwhile in Africa, Ethiopia is ranked sixth, which is not surprising given its significance as the homeland of coffee in Ethiopian culture. We'll save the fascinating tale of the farmer and his dancing goats who discovered Arabica for another time.

Ethiopia has a wide variety of bean kinds, each with its own unique flavor and features. Unlike in other nations, the greatest coffee is consumed locally and never leaves the country. However, the coffee exported is of the highest grade.

Ethiopia, the coffee-producing country, produces approximately 471 thousand metric tons of coffee per year. Ethiopians are passionate about coffee. The coffee business in Ethiopia is nationalized and accounts for 10% of the country's GDP!
