Is there a list of the coffee-growing regions of Ethiopia, such as Guji, Yirgacheffe, giving the characteristics of the coffees produced there?

    It might not be the easiest thing to do right now but maybe get in contact with your local library or the library of a nearby university. That's what I did a few years ago when I got into coffee and it helped a lot. Also you might find James Hoffmann's World Atlas of Coffee, which is a really good read. – technical_difficulty Sep 27 '20 at 16:17

There is a list in "The World Atlas of Coffee" by James Hoffmann: Sidama, Limu, Jima, Ghimbi/Lekempti, Harrar, Yirgacheffe. All have similar altitude (1400 - 2200 m range) and coffee varieties (heirloom). Also all regions are harvesting around October-February, except Ghimbi (February-April).

    Just be aware that the first edition of this book was published in 2014, meaning the information is now 7 years closer to "outdated". It may or may not still be comprehensive and correct. (I don't have any idea if it is or isn't.) There is a second edition published in 2018 which would be a better source for this information, but I don't own the book and can't say if this specific information changed. – R Mac Mar 28 '21 at 17:11
