Description
Ethiopia is a significant coffee producer today, and its coffees are amongst the most unusual in the world and are defiantly worth seeking out, especially Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, which is perhaps the most difficult one to find. Grown in the misty valley at altitudes between 5100 and 6600 feet above sea level, making it is not easy to describe, for its flavor is not punchy or deep, one may say that it is rather delicate, unusual, gorgeous, mellow, winy, gamey, and it most definitely should be tasted.Today Ethiopia is, once again, the most important African coffee exporter and the tenth-largest in the world, it is safe to say that coffee is the most important export for the country and that accounts for about 34 percent of the value of all exports, making coffee, the backbone of Ethiopia’s economy. * During the 2017/18 marketing year alone, Ethiopia registered a record of almost 917 million U.S. dollars from coffee exports.
