Landrace is an umbrella term that refers to all the coffee varietals endemic to Ethiopia. As the birthplace of coffee, the trees have been growing and cross-breeding for centuries in this country. As a result, there are numerous sub-varietals with some common genetics, but slightly different behavior and taste. In the last few decades, there has been an organized effort to research and identify different endemic varietals growing in Ethiopia by name, disease resilience, and yield production.
