05EthiopiaThe birthplace of coffee. Wild coffee grows here and a vast diversity of heirloom varieties exists. It is also the origin of the Geisha (Gesha) variety.
Native varieties such as SL28 and SL34 create a distinctive flavor. The auction (double-auction) system helps sustain quality.
20TanzaniaFamous for regions on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and known for yielding many peaberries. Coffee is an important Tanzanian export.
40YemenThe world's oldest coffee exporter, with a history of spreading worldwide from the port of Mocha. Instability has slashed production, making it highly rare.
The Eastern Highlands (Chipinge / Honde Valley) produce quality arabica; its "Code 53" AA was once prized. Production has shrunk, but bright, wine-like lots are reviving.
