WHAT COUNTRY HAS THE BEST COFFEE

Today there are about 80 countries with suitable climatic conditions for the cultivation of coffee trees. However, only 50 countries are capable of producing coffee industrially. Coffee plantations are mainly located in South and Central America, Africa and Asia. By the way, this product is the second most popular commodity in the world after oil.

Countries with the best coffee

The taste of coffee is influenced by a number of factors - climate, altitude, growing conditions, soil composition and others. Determining which country has the highest quality coffee beans is quite difficult. Nevertheless, a non-profit organization, the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) has tried to do so.

Between 2010 and 2018, 1,229 coffee varieties from around the world were collected and evaluated by CQI-certified professional tasters. The experts' ability to accurately and consistently sort coffee by aroma, flavor, acidity, consistency, balance and more is tested with special tests. As a result, tasters found out which country's coffee is the best in the world.
