Where was your coffee born? (Country of Origin)
Since you're a coffee lover, in addition to freshness and quality, the most important thing you want to know is what type (country or region of origin) of coffee you are buying. Coffee is grown all over the world, and the beans from each region have unique characteristics. Like wine, you can read about these characteristics, but the only way to know what you really like is to taste for yourself. With a little experimenting, you can learn to tell the subtleties of each region and discern your favorites. The country or region is so much a part of the taste that many coffee lovers prefer buying from a roaster who provides this information on the package.
