Illy Arabica Selection Etiopia – Arabica beans from Ethiopia

The 100% Arabica beans come from the Sidamo and Yirgacheffe regions in Ethiopia. Yirgacheffe, located in the south, is considered the region of origin of the Arabica bean. This coffee, which still grows wild in some places, is grown by many small coffee farmers in shady areas of the coffee plantations, or even in their own gardens, and is carefully harvested by hand. The Selection Etiopia is pleasantly mild and aromatic.

Exclusive enjoyment

Coffee is believed to have originated in Ethiopia. The Arabica beans that grow in this country offer a delicate aroma of floral notes, perfected by the special roasting profile. The Illy Arabica Selection Etiopia is particularly impressive due to its pleasantly mild aroma, as well as its floral jasmine notes and the light hint of citrus fruit notes that resonate in every cup.

The company history of Illy

Illy was founded in 1933 by Francesco Illy, an inventor and visionary whose achievements included the preservation of roasted coffee. The coffee cans he invented were exported to many countries at the time. His son Ernesto Illy joined the company in the late 1940s and had the idea of ​​selling the coffee cans to consumers. Thus, the smaller portions of coffee were born. The Illy company quickly became one of the most important coffee manufacturers in the world. Today, the Italian company sells its coffee in over 140 countries and has also made it onto the list of the Most Ethical Companies in the World several times.
