A farmer displays the coffee fruit at a coffee manor in Pu'er, southwest China's Yunnan Province, Jan. 8, 2025.

These beans have become a special festive gift this year, whether for friends and family or for personal enjoyment. Ethiopia is currently Africa's largest coffee producer and the fifth largest in the world, with an annual output of about 600,000 tons. Coffee is a major source of foreign exchange for the country. According to incomplete statistics, about 5 million small-scale farmers in Ethiopia cultivate coffee, while over 25 million people are engaged in its production, processing and sales sectors. Ethiopia's neighbor Kenya shares the same passion for coffee. As a latecomer in this industry, Kenya has achieved a high degree of refinement in its coffee production.
