Brazil is not only the world’s largest coffee producer, it is also the most complex. It turns out everything from mass produced coffees that rank among the world’s cheapest to elegant coffees prized as the world’s finest origins for espresso brewing. In Brazil, fruit is removed from the bean using four different processing methods, and it is not uncommon for all four methods to be used on the same farm during the same harvest.

There’s a reason why most coffee cuppers will name Kenya as their favorite origin—we tend to obsess over organic fruit acids and clarity of flavor, and the best coffees from Kenya have a vibrancy that outshines all others. It is easy to detect Kenyan coffees on a blind table, and even those new to specialty coffee learn to recognize their distinct character quickly, because it demands your attention.

Colombia is a country with a colorful and vibrant, rich culture. From the hot arepas (tortillas sold on the street), to the cumbia and salsa music, there is always something to see. The essence of Colombia can be found in its coffee or “tinto”, the term locals use for a cup of black coffee. The country is among the world’s top 3 producers of coffee. The coffee is produced in 18 coffee regions that are spread throughout dramatic landscapes in most of its territory. Colombia is crossed by the Andes Mountains and sprinkled with diverse microclimates and other geographic conditions that allow for distinct coffee flavors and profiles from region to region.
