Coffee is grown commercially in a narrow band around the globe in the Tropic of Cancer. The major growing regions of coffee are listed below:
The Americas:
The coffees of Central and South America are best known for their consistency, clarity and balance. They possess clean, crisp acidity and are typically light to medium bodied, with flavors that range from mildly nutty to rich, cocoa overtones. The coffees of the Caribbean, Hawaii, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Puerto Rico offer Mildness, sweetness, and medium to light body.
 Africa and Arabia:
Africa, the birthplace of coffee, produces some of the most complex and intensely flavorful coffees in the world. These coffees possess almost sparkling brightness in acidity with unique wine-like or fruity flavor notes.
 Asia and Indonesia:
This family of coffees is best known for their rich, thick body and earthy flavors. Most coffees from the Pacific are processed using the dry method of preparation, this dry or natural (air dried) method adds to their natural heavy body and diminishes the acidic qualities found in coffees in the Americas.
