Coffee Experience Pages - Growing Regions

Growing Regions

Geography is a flavour You can tell a lot about your favourite coffee if you know where it was grown. The three growing regions below represent the source of all Arabica coffee beans, each one producing its own distinct flavour profile.

Latin America

Central and South America produce far more coffee than any other growing region. Coffees from Latin America are celebrated for their great balance, medium body and clean finish. A tangy brightness and consistent quality also make them ideal foundations for blending. Single-origin coffees from this region typically include coffees from Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia.

Africa/Arabia

From the mountainous eastern half of the African continent and the Arabian Peninsula come some of the world's greatest coffees. Arabian coffees are legendary for their berrylike flavours and winelike qualities while those from Africa are remarkable for their floral aromas and citrusy tastes. Some of our favourites come from Kenya, Ethiopia and Yemen.

Asia/Pacific

These are the 'heavyweights' of the coffee world, providing deep, sturdy 'low notes' when used in blends and as single-origin coffees, they are perennial favorites. A large percentage of these coffees come from Pacific Islands like Indonesia and are typically lively with herbal undertones. Asia’s coffees are popular for their full body and mellow, earthy flavours.
