Technically speaking, there is no such thing as 'Finnish coffee'. Just as there is no such thing as 'Italian coffee or French coffee'. Even though we see words like 'Italian' roast or 'French' roast on bags of coffee, coffee trees will actually die in cold weather.

Coffee trees will only flourish in warm weather climates which is why we see the names of countries like 'Columbia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Costa Rica...' on bags of coffee. It stays warm year-round in these regions.

You would think that going up the mountains to grow would lower temps and maybe make worse coffee. However,

Interesting read, and very true. Usually the higher the elevation the better it will taste.

In addition to this, right now, one of the most sought after varieties of Arabica beans of the coffee aficionado is Geisha. They can be quite pricey though. I've seen it go for $300 for one pound, it's not usually this expensive but it can be. I've only had the pleasure of trying one Geisha and while it was VERY good, I just don't think it's leaps and bounds better than the other varieties. But I would say it's worth trying at least once.
