There is no exact science to Ethiopian coffee varietals. We are finally on the verge of learning more about their individual aspects as the first steps toward separation are now being taken at the farm level in Ethiopia. What we do know is that there are over 1000 heirloom varietals from the Wild Forests of the country that are in production. It appears as if these varietals most resemble the Typica varietals that are indigenous to Yemen which were brought to Indonesia and later taken to Latin America as the first varietal grown in the new world. Ethiopia Heirloom varietals produce some of the most coveted flavors in the world that, depending on process, can range from floral (think jasmine in particular), to sweetly citric (distinct lemon), to chocolate, to Assam tea, and to wild berries.
