- Coffee that grows in higher altitudes, such as Colombia, are more fruity, sweeter and acidic. On the other hand, coffee grown at lower altitudes, such as in Ethopia, are usually more earthy, chocolaty and nutty.
- Coffee is processed in different ways: washed, natural and honey. When washed, the outer shell is removed before washing the coffee. Leads to higher acidity and a cleaner flavour. When naturally processed, the beans are dried out in the sun, leading to more fruity and fermented flavours. Honey processing leads to the sweetest flavour profile.
- In places with high humidity, coffee beans are more often washed instead of naturally processed. This is because the high humidity could lead to a fast decay and rot the beans during the process.
