World's Top 10 Coffee Producing Countries: Ranking and Flavor Characteristics

Top 10 Representative Coffee Growing Regions Recommended by FrontStreet Coffee

Although coffee is one of the three major beverages in the world, coffee cultivation is by no means easy. According to FrontStreet Coffee's understanding, coffee trees must be grown near the equator, between 15-25 degrees north and south latitude. They also require sufficiently high altitude, cool climate, abundant rainfall, and other natural factors, making it a rather delicate crop. There are about 50 countries worldwide that can grow coffee, offering a wide selection. In this article, FrontStreet Coffee will recommend ten representative coffee growing regions.
