Ethiopia is said to be the birthplace of coffee.
I think the person who discovered coffee is amazing.
He discovered that roasting the seeds of the plant gives them a fragrant aroma, and that drinking them in hot water was delicious.
I wonder if he experimented with various plants?
Ethiopian coffee is often called Mocha.
Although it's rare, Yemeni coffee is also called Mocha.
This is because Mocha is the name of a port town in Yemen, and Ethiopian and Yemeni coffee beans were exported to the world through Mocha.
Lightly roasted Ethiopian coffee has a fruity black tea flavor with notes of berries and citrus, and is quite different from the so-called blended coffee you often find in coffee shops.
Ethiopian beans are mainly grown at altitudes of 1,500-2,200m, with large temperature differences between day and night and rich volcanic soil, which gives them a fragrant and complex flavor.
There are trends depending on the region, with Yirgacheffe having a gorgeous aroma and a lightness like black tea, and Sidamo having a citrus acidity and brightness.
