It's Ethiopian and it's good. The place where I buy my green coffee doesn't give a lot of specifics! Just a brown paper bag with "Ethiopian" scrawled on the front. I should probably inquire further at some point.


During my first few years of roasting, I primarily bought from local artisan roasters and like you mention, a kraft bag with grease pencil stating country of origin was all I got and really all I cared to know. I pretty much disregard most articulated descriptive blather as it very rarely conveys any useful information for me and most of the time I scan down to the last couple of sentences stating whether it is great or mediocre greens.
