There is a wide assortment of coffee and coffee beans around the world. The pleasure is in trying to sample all of them.

The Colombian is, rightly so, world-renowned. The La Esperanza from Tolima, for example, is grown at almost 6,000 feet and the effect shows. High-toned with a delicate aroma and cherry-like it has hints of milk chocolate and pipe tobacco. Who knew such a mixture could actually taste wonderful?

The Supremo is also a well known Colombian gem. Piping hot it is rich with flavor of vanilla and chocolate. This sweet delight is undeniable.

From smooth to strong we move to Kona grown in Hawaii. You have your choice of dark or medium roast with the medium having a bit more of a sharp flavor. If you want the best of Kona you want an espresso, rich and strong and full of flavor.

For those who like the sharp taste in their coffee, the Tanzanian Peaberry found on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa may be the choice for you. This is a very unique bean, not only because of its taste but also its appearance. It is a single oval more acidic than some beans which lends to its sharp flavor. Those who come to climb the famous M. Kilimanjaro can enjoy not only her sights but also her produce.

And while there, take a side jaunt to the legendary home of coffee – Ethiopia. The Yirgacheffe region is home to a citrusy brew that combines ginger, orange peel and lemon that’s both tart and chocolaty.

The Jumboors and the Monsoon Malabar are two types of beans found in India. The latter delivers you the sweet flavor of apricot while the former has a raisin flavor as its sweetener. The environment of these beans gives them their uniqueness that must be sampled to be appreciated.

Where can you find a warm soothing coffee that offers the soothing flavor of jasmine with the sweet flavor of cherry? Try the Lake Toba region of Sumatra, Indonesia. The beans grown in this region produce a light brew sharp with flavor.

And while there don’t forget about the northern provinces where the traditional dark roast gives a spicy, tropical fruit brew with hints of cedar and grapefruit.

Robusta from Lampung, Vietnam adds to the variety. The method used to prepare these beans gives each cup a strong bite and rivals the sharp flavor of the Arabica blends.
