One plant, eighteen distinct drinks: how geography defines your cup

Every Coffee Origin Explained · 15:30 · Video: Food'ology · Watch at the source

In short: While every coffee bean comes from the same species of plant, the final drink varies wildly based on where it is grown. This video explores the 18 different origins that shape flavor through soil, altitude, and history.

The diversity of coffee production stems from environmental variables rather than biological differences. Because each country offers unique soil compositions and altitudes, a single species can produce vastly different profiles. The video examines these nuances across 18 distinct regions, ranging from the historical birthplace of coffee to modern-day high-value markets where a single pound can cost $13,000.
