Bean origins: coffee circuits around the world

April 2026 · 5 min read · Carrera Café · The Coffee Journal

In motor racing, we talk about legendary circuits like Monaco, Spa, Suzuka, or Interlagos. In the coffee world, there are also exceptional terroirs that shape the unique character of each bean. At Carrera Café, we travel the world to select the best origins, like a driver who knows every turn of their track by heart.

Ethiopia, the Nürburgring of coffee

The birthplace of coffee. Just as the Nürburgring is the ultimate circuit for any self-respecting driver, Ethiopia is the absolute reference for coffee lovers. Beans from the Yirgacheffe region offer floral and fruity notes, jasmine, bergamot, white peach, with stunning complexity. A coffee that surprises, like an unknown driver taking pole position.

Colombia, the power of the V8

A classic, reliable, and powerful coffee, like a naturally aspirated V8 in full acceleration. Colombian beans from the Andean highlands develop aromas of caramel, hazelnut, and dark chocolate. Full body, balanced acidity. It’s the backbone of any good espresso, the base engine on which everything is built.

Guatemala, the technical turns of Spa

Full of nuances and character. Guatemalan coffees, grown on the slopes of volcanoes at over 1,500 meters altitude, offer a complex profile with notes of spices, cocoa, and a slight smoky touch. Like Spa-Francorchamps with its weather variations and spectacular elevation changes: unpredictable, exciting, unforgettable.

A world tour in every bag

Our team travels these coffee circuits around the world to bring you the best performances in your cup. Whether you prefer the direct power of a Colombian coffee, the airy finesse of an Ethiopian, or the volcanic character of a Guatemalan, Carrera Café offers you a full paddock of exceptional origins. The next race starts in your kitchen.
