I am always eager to learn more about things I am passionate for - in this case - K-Cup coffee. Over the years of drinking coffee, I have certainly discovered different types of coffee grown from specific regions that I favor more than others.  For example, I favor Pacific Rim coffees like Sumatra over vibrant, floral and citrusy coffees grown in Central America.  Blends make it difficult though to draw clear lines between regions.

Nevertheless, I thought it would be of interest to you to read a bit about the various characteristics of coffee grown from different regions.  So I turn to an excellent guide that I found at http://txcoffeetraders.stores.yahoo.net/recoch.html:

• Ethiopian Coffees have a rich, wild, winey character. Moka is actually a port in Yemen. Moka Harrar is the real mocha flavor which is now confused with chocolate.

• Indonesian coffees have a full-bodied, heavier earthiness best represented by the Sumatran coffees. Real gutsy and smooth in the darker roasts.

• Central and South American coffees are light and mild in character, having a pleasant flavor and aroma recognized by most people.

• African coffees tend to have a sharp, winey character similar to Ethiopians. Kenya best represents the true African coffee taste.
