Ancient nations on the African continent, Ethiopia is the homeland of Arabica coffee. It is in the forests of Ethiopia's Kaffa region that you can see wild Arabica coffee. Coffee in Ethiopia is equivalent to the nation's currency, and almost all wealthy families built their fortunes through coffee trade in previous generations.

In the Ethiopian language, coffee is called "Bun" or "Buna."

Ethiopian coffee has many distinctive characteristics, among which Yirgacheffe is renowned. However, Yirgacheffe also has many varieties, with various processing methods and specialty grades leading to different levels and prices. When they reach China, they become mixed and confusing.
