Arabica beans produced in Ethiopia usually have a strong and complex fruity aroma with fresh flavors such as lemon or berry. Kenya is known for its Arabica beans produced in high-altitude plantations with obvious acidity and rich blackcurrant flavor. Tanzania produces coffee with a fresh tea flavor and citrus and black tea aromas due to its special processing methods (such as washing).
