<p>I was recently introduced to Ethiopian coffee, specifically, a flavour called Honey washed Dawi and Sidamo. They had wonderful aromas and tasted a little bit fruity as well. I did some research and learned that Ethiopian coffee grows at a higher elevation than other coffees, which is why it tastes the way it does. Then, I learned about Specialty Grade 1 coffee that is usually from Ethiopia. Where can I get Grade 1 coffee in Canada?</p>
<p>I found <a href="https://www.kickinghorsecoffee.com/en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.kickinghorsecoffee.com/en</a>, <a href="https://buycoffeecanada" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://buycoffeecanada</a> and <a href="https://etcoffee.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://etcoffee.com/</a> Has anyone purchased from these vendors before? Thanks</p>

Is all Ethiopian coffee considered Specialty Grade 1? If so, where can I buy some in Canada?
