We are featuring coffee from Ethiopia in this blog…and it’s Travis’ favorite kind! He loves the rich, deep flavor, and full body that ends with a fruity aftertaste that perfectly finishes off this delightful cup of coffee.
Culturally coffee is a major part of Ethiopia history. The region of Ethiopia that our coffee comes from is Yirgacheffe, which is know for it’s superb coffee flavor.
Ethiopia is Africa’s top coffee producer and is also ranked #5 in the World’s Top Coffee Producers. Ethiopia is able to continually produce over 200,000 tons of coffee per year!
Today, 98% of the Ethiopian coffee farmers are small scale. Because coffee still grows wild in many areas, farmers harvest their crops utilizing 4 different systems: forest coffee, semi-forest coffee, garden coffee, and plantation coffee.
Coffee is important to Ethiopia's economy; around 60% of foreign income is generated from coffee, and an estimated 15 million of the population rely on some aspect of coffee production for their livelihood.
