Africa is widely regarded as the cradle of coffee, offering some of the most dynamic and sought-after flavors in the world. From Ethiopia’s bright, floral profiles to the fruity, wine-like notes of Burundi and Rwanda, this session celebrates the coffee-producing countries of Africa. Learn about the growing conditions, processing methods, and traditions that set African coffees apart, and enjoy a curated tasting of some of the continent’s finest selections.

Coffee Fest's Coffee Origin Series highlights the unique coffees produced around the world. Join us each day in the Cupping Corner to explore a different region - The Americas, Asia, and Africa.
