The Art of Coffee: Understanding Different Varieties and Origins

Many people have a habit of drinking coffee, whether it's espresso, concentrated coffee, or specialty coffee suitable for pour-over brewing. The way coffee is presented can vary, resulting in different flavors, and everyone's preference for coffee is subjective. With the rise of the third wave of coffee, specialty coffee has become increasingly beloved by coffee enthusiasts. Anyone who knows a bit about coffee will be familiar with specialty pour-over coffee.

Those who understand coffee will typically choose from the following varieties based on different flavor profiles:

Sumatra

Sumatra coffee is renowned for its rich chocolate flavor and full body, with some of the finest coming from the northern Aceh region. The average farm size in Sumatra is very small, typically only one to five hectares nationwide, and different varieties can often be found growing together. FrontStreet Coffee's daily supply beans, Mandheling coffee and Golden Mandheling coffee, are very popular.

Colombia

As a large country, Colombia has a mature coffee industry spread across 17 regions, with quality varying significantly from exceptional to ordinary. Due to many different microclimates and growing regions, there is enormous potential for variation in flavor profiles. Some Colombian coffees have heavy bodies with chocolate and nut flavors, while others are very clean and complex, with jam-like sweetness and citrus notes.

Ethiopia

Ethiopia is also a well-known coffee origin that uses both natural and washed processes to create outstanding flavor profiles that truly must be tasted to be believed. The characteristics of Ethiopian natural coffee are almost "geisha-like," with intense floral aromas and notes of ripe strawberries and blueberries.

Brazil - The World's Most Powerful Coffee Origin

Brazil is the most influential and economically powerful country in South America, and one of the world's largest economies. Coffee plantations cover approximately 27,000 square kilometers (10,000 square miles) with about 6 billion trees, 74% of which are Arabica and 26% Robusta. The states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Paraná are the largest producers due to their suitable landscapes, climate, and fertile soil. However, since Paraná suffered severe frost damage in the mid-1970s that destroyed most of its coffee, production has largely moved northward. Most plantations are harvested during the dry months of May to July, with new crops typically arriving in the UK between October and January.

Coffee from Brazil, due to its excellent body and balance, tends to be more suitable for espresso-based drinks, and they also have the ability to pair perfectly with milk.
