CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Espresso Blends, List of green coffees to start blending with (#)

  „For drip coffee I would suggest experimenting with Guatemalan, Costa Rican, Tanzania peaberry, Ethiopian (the Ethiopians are ALL good: Harar, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe).  Also you may like to try Sulawesi, Kenya and maybe even an exotic like Kona or Jamaican Blue Mountain (it's terribly expensive but also a unique coffee).“

Fresh Cup Magazine

  „The commonly known Ethiopian producing regions are Harrar, which boasts an excellent premium coffee with balanced complexity; Sidamo, which produces an unusually sweet and robust coffee; Yirgacheffe, where the coffee is profoundly bright and acidic; Limu, known for coffee similar to Sidamo in cup quality; and Djimma, whose coffee is full-bodied and earthy. Of these origins, the washed coffees that are fermented are the cleanest and most desirable, although there is still a market for unwashed, sun-dried coffees.“

Ethiopian Coffee

  „Washed coffees of Ethiopia include Ghimbi and Yirgacheffe.  The former is more balanced, heavier, and has a longer lasting body than the Harrars.  The latter are more mild, fruitlike, and aromatic.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „In the September Fair-Trade article we wrote that in North America Fair-Trade-certified coffees are available from only three non-Latin-American origins: Sumatra, the Yirgacheffe/Sidamo region of Ethiopia, and the Harrar region of Ethiopia, and furthermore that these coffees have been available here for only two years. Beth Ann Caspersen, Quality Control Officer for Equal Exchange, a distinguished green coffee dealer and roasting company, points out that, in fact, there are three additional Fair-Trade origins available in North America: East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and Tanzania. Beth Ann goes on to write that: "non-Latin American Fair Trade coffees have been sold on the U.S. market for much longer than two years.“
