A pilot knows every turn of their circuit. A specialty coffee drinker should know every detail of what they drink. Origin, altitude, roasting profile: these are not details. It's the map of the terrain.

The three major origins to know

Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia: at 1700-2200 meters, exceptional floral profile, bergamot and jasmine. Huila, Colombia: sweet and balanced coffees, red fruits and caramel, full body. Geisha, Panama/Ethiopia: one of the rarest and most sought-after beans in the world, floral and fruity profile of rare complexity.
