A Worldwide Assortment of Coffees
There is a wide assortment of coffee and coffee beans around the world. The pleasure is in trying to sample all of them.
Tolima, Columbia is home of the La Esperanza, one of the finest and most well known coffees in the world. Its rich aroma and deep flavor are compliments of it being grown at such high altitudes. The perfect blend of flavors unpredictable for their compatibility makes it a top choice.
The Supremo is also a well known Colombian gem. Piping hot it is rich with flavor of vanilla and chocolate. This sweet delight is undeniable.
Hopping over to Hawaii, the hand-picked Kona comes in both medium and dark roast. The latter has a very light acid with the medium making for slightly more. But the espresso roast remains a favorite, where the minimally acidic, dark and strong character really shines.
Jetting off to Africa we find a Tanzanian Peaberry, grown on the southern slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Peaberries have a distinctive shape, making a single oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. One consequence is a higher acidity and lighter body. Climbers of the famous mountain can find a warming cup on their way up.
Another stop in Africa where you will find the finest blends of coffee- the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia. This coffee is often made with a bit of citrus and ginger, the perfect combination for a sweet and tangy treat.
The Jumboors and the Monsoon Malabar are two types of beans found in India. The latter delivers you the sweet flavor of apricot while the former has a raisin flavor as its sweetener. The environment of these beans gives them their uniqueness that must be sampled to be appreciated.
Where can you find a warm soothing coffee that offers the soothing flavor of jasmine with the sweet flavor of cherry? Try the Lake Toba region of Sumatra, Indonesia. The beans grown in this region produce a light brew sharp with flavor.
Before leaving Indonesia satisfy your spicy craving. Head north to the territory where they add a touch of cedar and a bit of citrus to their coffee to make it something divine.
Robusta from Lampung, Vietnam adds to the variety. The method used to prepare these beans gives each cup a strong bite and rivals the sharp flavor of the Arabica blends.
