Asia & Pacific (7)
- Baoshan — The western Yunnan prefecture where Chinese coffee stopped being a mission-garden curiosity and became a crop — the 1952 planting at Lujiangba, a 2010 geographical indication, and a modern reputation built on old Typica trees and new Geisha.
- India — The origin that grows every bean under a canopy of trees, sends four fifths of it abroad, has quietly become a Robusta country, and is best known worldwide for a coffee it deliberately leaves out in the rain — Monsooned Malabar.
- Indonesia — The world’s fourth-largest coffee producer and the oldest plantation origin outside Arabia — a smallholder archipelago of mostly Robusta, famous for the earthy wet-hulled Sumatra cup, and since 2021 a Cup of Excellence country whose top lots have sold for as much as $80 a pound.
- Kona — The two-district strip on Hawai’i Island where a place name became a legally defined product — 800-odd tiny farms on lava slopes, a labelling law that lets a bag be 90% something else until 2027, and a $13.1 million fake-Kona settlement.
- Papua New Guinea — The Pacific origin where almost every bag comes from a highland garden of a few hundred trees — a smallholder country of roughly 700,000–750,000 bags a year, washed Arabica by hand, and no auction, no competition circuit and almost no published scores.
- Timor-Leste — The half-island origin that gave the coffee world its most important accidental plant, the Timor Hybrid — a tiny, mountainous, almost entirely smallholder and largely organic Arabica producer of roughly 320,000 bags a year, with no auction, no competition circuit and almost no published scores.
- Yunnan coffee — The subtropical Chinese province that grows almost all of China’s coffee — planted overwhelmingly with rust-resistant Catimor for survival, and only now, through a 2025 ACE selection, showing what its best plots can actually do.
