An international group of coffee experts has considered Ethiopia's coffee as the best in the world． Coffee is a top export of the country． But at home， it is seen as national pride． Ethiopians feel good about their coffee， and enjoying a drink with friends is a long tradition．
International coffee experts travel the world to find the best coffee． They keep returning to Ethiopia． Some people say the climate produces quality beans． Morton Wenner is a coffee importer． He said， "Ethiopia has different ancient types of coffee． They are planted in places with perfect soil， perfect altitude， and climates that are really suitable for coffee processing， such as drying and things like that．"
Finding the best quality beans is often an issue of taste． The process is known as cupping - tasting and comparing coffee from different roasted beans， grading and then pricing them．
But before international experts come to taste， coffee beans are studied in small coffee laboratories． Helen Assefa， a lab technician， describes the process， "When the coffee comes to the lab， we assess its quality first by recording the details． Then we weigh the wetness level and screen the beans for analysis． After that we polish the coffee beans and taste the samples． At the end we check for imperfect beans．"
Ethiopia is making big profits on its coffee reputation by exporting coffee to more than 120 countries． The country has an export income of more than ﹩840 million a year． But not all the best coffee leaves Ethiopia． Forty percent of the coffee grown in the country stays there． It remains an important part of everyday life at work， at home and at ceremonies just to celebrate that special cup．
