Ethiopia, the Birthplace of Coffee

Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, so if you're a coffee-lover, you must experience the original to fully appreciate every other coffee experience. Anyone that has had Ethiopian coffee beans knows that it’s special.

There's a reason the coffee plant was carried from Ethiopia across the Red Sea to present-day Arabia and Yemen. They made the arduous trek because the Ethiopian coffee beans are incredible, and they were worth sharing with the world. In addition, they are beloved by coffee fans that crave a full-bodied bright coffee with both fruit and floral notes.

Where is the Birthplace of Coffee Beans?

The arabica coffee beans we know and love today originated in 1,000 BC in the Kingdom of Kefa, in present-day Ethiopia. However, arabica coffee beans get their name from the excursion they made in the 7th century from Ethiopia to Arabia. Of course, no one loves when another person (or country) takes credit for their work; however, Arabia is where the majority of our modern-day coffee brewing processes originated.

If you're searching for the quintessential coffee experience, you have to go back to the coffea plant roots. Ethiopian coffee beans are the original coffee beans. While many growing, roasting, and brewing processes have changed throughout the centuries, one thing that hasn’t changed is that the original home of coffee beans is still the provider of bright and delicious coffee.
