Thank you. My favorite is the Sidamo that Starbucks puts out. It's part of their reserve line now, but used to be in all stores year-round. The reviews here are telling: http://www.starbucksstore.com/starbu...efault,pd.html

Although I like that one the most, I usually enjoy all African coffees, and great varieties come from Kenya and Rwanda, too. My suggestion would be to try whatever you can find from Ethiopia, and as long as it's a dark roast it should have that distinctive taste. It's hard to explain - it's just so very different from the nutty flavor that so many Latin coffees have.
