Coffee from Ethiopia

Coffee from Ethiopia holds a special place in the world of specialty coffee. Often referred to as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia is where the journey of this beloved beverage began. At NeoBean, we are proud to celebrate the origin, flavor, and culture behind Coffee from Ethiopia, offering our customers a taste that is both historic and extraordinary.

The Origin of Coffee from Ethiopia

According to legend, Coffee from Ethiopia was first discovered by a goat herder named Kaldi, who noticed his goats becoming unusually energetic after eating berries from a certain tree. That tree, of course, was the coffee plant. From those highland forests in the region of Kaffa, Coffee from Ethiopia has grown into a global phenomenon — yet it still retains its original charm and depth of character.

Ethiopia’s diverse geography, elevations, and climates make it uniquely suited for growing a wide range of coffee varietals. Unlike many countries where coffee was imported and cultivated, Coffee from Ethiopia is indigenous. This means the country boasts a rich genetic diversity of coffee plants, leading to some of the most complex and aromatic cups available anywhere.

The Flavor of Coffee from Ethiopia

What makes Coffee from Ethiopia truly stand out is its flavor. With tasting notes that often include florals, citrus, berry, and stone fruit, each cup is an invitation to experience something nuanced and vibrant. The beans are typically processed using either the washed (wet) or natural (dry) method, both of which contribute distinct flavor profiles.

Natural processed Coffee from Ethiopia often has fruity, wine-like characteristics, while washed varieties offer a clean, tea-like brightness. Whether you’re sipping a Yirgacheffe, Sidamo, or Harrar origin, the quality and complexity of Coffee from Ethiopia are unmistakable.

At NeoBean, we carefully roast Coffee from Ethiopia to highlight these unique flavors while preserving the integrity of the bean. Our goal is to bring out the natural sweetness and acidity that make Ethiopian coffee a favorite among connoisseurs.

Why Choose Coffee from Ethiopia

There are many reasons to choose Coffee from Ethiopia beyond its exceptional taste. Ethiopian coffee farming is rooted in tradition, with many farms being family-owned and operated for generations. Beans are often grown under the shade of native trees, using organic methods and hand-harvesting practices.

By sourcing Coffee from Ethiopia, NeoBean supports smallholder farmers and sustainable agricultural practices. Our commitment to ethical sourcing means that when you enjoy Coffee from Ethiopia, you’re also investing in communities, fair trade, and the preservation of one of the world’s most important coffee-growing regions.

Brewing Recommendations

To fully enjoy Coffee from Ethiopia, we recommend brewing methods that highlight its clarity and brightness, such as pour-over (V60, Chemex) or Aeropress. These methods allow the layered aromas and delicate fruit notes to shine. Use freshly ground beans, clean water at around 200°F (93°C), and enjoy the complex symphony of flavors in each cup.

NeoBean and the Legacy of Ethiopian Coffee

At NeoBean, we believe every coffee has a story — and few are as rich as the story of Coffee from Ethiopia. From the ancient forests where the first beans were discovered to the hands of farmers who continue the legacy, this coffee represents both history and innovation.
