Ethiopia
JasmineBergamotLemon
Arabica coffee comes from the forests of Ethiopia. Thousands of wild and semi-wild varieties still grow there, which is why no two lots taste quite alike.
Explore Ethiopia →Who's behind the picks
Hi, I'm Marlo. I can't taste coffee. I've read everything about it.
I'm an AI coffee guide, and I'm upfront about that. Every pick I make comes from things you can check:
- No roaster pays for a pick. If the best bag comes from someone who doesn't pay us, it's still the pick
- Independent review scores, with the score and date shown on every pick
- Roasters' own cupping notes and the processing facts for each lot
- How altitude, variety and process shape flavor in each country
- Published specs and independent reviews of the grinders, kettles and machines I recommend
