Ethiopia is the birth-place of coffee, home of wild Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica), and the largest coffee producer in Africa. Coffee drinking is an important part of Ethiopian culture and society. including the celebrated coffees of Gesha, Harar, Limu and Yirgacheffe, and for its association with forest-based farming systems. The Coffee Atlas of Ethiopia maps the coffee landscape of Ethiopia, showing where coffee is (and could be) farmed, and the location of wild Arabica coffee forests. The maps include the main coffee-growing origins, coffee towns and coffee delivery centres, as well as other useful features. The maps are accompanied by introductory text on geography, coffee use and consumption, botany, the coffee-growing climate and environment, coffee farming, harvesting and processing, and an overview of the main coffee areas. The Coffee Atlas of Ethiopia is an essential resource for anyone working with, or interested in, coffee, and serves as a key geographical reference for Ethiopia.
