Does coffee bean vary a lot depending on location?

The fair trade coffee was on sale today due to Amazon prime so I got two $10.00 bags just to sample what non Starbucks Coffee is like. If it tastes good I will buy it again. I know my dad developed heart problems when he drank Cuban coffee so I wanted to avoid Spanish Coffee but my dad likes exotic things so I got a Peru brand just for him. I got an African brand for me and an Italian brand for my mom.

Yes, the taste of the beans is affected by the soil they grow in. Coffee is grown in Central America, Brazil, the Caribbean, West Africa, East Africa, Yemen, Madagascar, Indonesia, Vietnam and India. The coffee plant thrives in a variety of soils, from alluvial to volcanic. Your Italian coffee is probably not gown in Italy but is a blend of coffees from elsewhere.
