I like Ethiopian coffee cause their fruity taste. Have you tried Gayo coffee or any Indonesian coffee varities? If I were to rank coffee, I would do : Brazilian, Ethiopian, then Indonesian.

I love the fruity taste of Ethiopian coffee, too. As far as Indonesian coffees, I enjoy Sulawesi coffees, but I love wet-hulled coffees from Sumatra—the earthy flavors and the taste of the terroir you get in those can be so good with a light-medium roast. I drank dark-roasted Sumatra for years before I tried lighter roasts, and my world opened up when I finally did. It’s a coffee region that, especially with the volcanically-influenced soils, that has a flavor profile truly different than anywhere else.
I have the most experience with Sumatra Mandheling and Lintong coffees, but literally my favorite Sumatra of all time is a Sumatra Kerinci and is a blend sourced from 680 small producers in the North Kerinci Valley and includes Gayo varietals. Love it. The green bell pepper notes in that cup blew my mind. I actually made a pour over of that coffee today. :)
I have also tasted a lot of coffee from Java, but I haven’t tried any from that region that was not roasted into oblivion—so I’m excited to taste the differences there in a lighter roast.
