About the country of growth

In terms of growing conditions, Ethiopian coffee can be divided into three groups: forest, garden and plantation. The forest category includes trees growing in forests in natural shade, mainly in the southwest of the country. Garden is the most common type of coffee growing and provides the bulk of production. Trees grow next to the farmer's house. Fewer shade trees and farmers artificially limit shade by pruning. Fertilizers are often used. The Plantation category is relatively rare. Coffee grows on large farms where basic farming methods are used: pruning, fertilizing, mulching, breeding. Therefore, single estate coffee from Ethiopia, i.e. coffee from a single farm, is relatively rare. There are quite a few varieties of Arabica growing in Ethiopia, which are usually labeled as indigenous or Ethiopian heritage. As for the climate and landscape, there are mountains in the western part of the country, respectively, the climate is milder, the east is a plateau and more arid. Ethiopian coffee regions - Yirgachiff, Sidamo, Limu, Jimma, Lekempti, Harrar. The Sidamo region is also a trademark officially registered by the Ethiopian government in 2004 with the aim of promoting coffee from this region. Coffee grows between 1400 and 2200 meters above sea level. Harvested from October to January.
