A small yet extremely diverse group, Alterra’s African coffees represent some of our most exotic offerings. From Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, we feature two unique coffees from the Harar and Yirgacheffe regions. Just to the south, the rich, volcanic soil around Mount Kenya nourishes some of the most intense, intoxicatingly flavorful coffee in the world, with neighboring Rwanda rounding out our list of East Africans. To the north, just across the Red Sea in the Arabian Peninsula, lies Yemen. With its steep slopes and primitive natural processing method, coffee from Yemen tends to be wildly complex.
