I really like coffee and people always ask me about my favorite varieties and countries of origin. Here are a few off the top of my head. My favorite coffees are West African varieties. I love a good Rwanda Buremera. I'm also a fan of Ethiopian coffees, particularly a nice tan Harrar, or the ever popular Yirgacheffe, A good Indian Malabar is also an excellent choice. As far as the Americas go, a nice Brazil can be very pleasing if roasted lightly. I also tried a Mexican Peaberry last year that was amazing (and I'm not usually a fan of Mexican coffee). I also enjoy Central American offerings such as a chocolaty Nicaraguan or a subtle Guatemalan coffee. My heart will always be with Africa, though. Does anyone else have a favorite they'd like to share?
