Types of Coffee BeansBehind every cup of coffee we drink there are beans that have been carefully graded. These beans are graded on the size, color and shape.The AA grade is given to coffee beans that fulfill the criteria mentioned above, with the exception that they cannot contain more than 3 defects (quakers). These are typically Kenya AA beans.ArabicaArabica coffee beans, also known as Coffea arabica are the most coveted type of bean in the world. The legend says that coffee was discovered in Ethiopia when a goat herder noticed his herd's dancing more vigorously after eating the fruit of the coffee plant. This led him to study roasting and brewing the seeds, creating the drink we all know and cherish today.There are many different types of coffee plants, but only two are used in the production of our top brews, robusta and arabica. The former is generally considered superior to the latter and this is evident in the taste of the final drink.There are many different arabica cultivars. Each one has its own distinct taste profile. Two of the most famous varieties are Typica and Bourbon and from which the other varieties of arabica were developed through natural mutation or intentional crossbreeding. The SL28 cultivar, for instance was developed in Kenya by Scott Labs and is known for its distinct chocolatey flavor.The flavor of an arabica variety varies on the environment in which it was planted, and also how it was handled and cooked. For instance, the kind of shade a plant receives in its altitude, its elevation and soil composition could all play a impact on the final product.RobustaRobusta coffee beans (Coffea canephora) are the second most sought-after variety of coffee beans. These beans are commonly used in instant coffees, and they contain twice the amount of caffeine as Arabica Coffee Beans. They are also used in numerous espresso blends, notably for caffe latte and cappuccino.Coffea Canephora is a plant which was discovered in Sub-Saharan Africa. It has been grown all over the world since. It can grow at lower elevations and can withstand higher temperatures than the Arabica coffee plant, making it a better crop for farmers. Vietnam is the world's biggest producer of robusta followed by Brazil and Indonesia.The robusta plant makes a wonderful coffee, but it's not a favorite among cupping enthusiasts due to its bitter taste and burnt-rubber aroma. Many large coffee companies employ arabica bean for their top-quality products since it's regarded as a lower-quality coffee.However, the demand for gourmet coffee is growing, and smaller roasters are testing high-end robusta varieties in order to benefit from its superior qualities. Our Valhalla Java and Death With Coffee are two examples of outstanding robusta coffees that are blended with arabica to give the perfect balance of flavour and strength. These are carefully procured from Uganda, where robusta was grown for long periods of time. Read more about them.LibericaLiberica coffee beans are a rare variety that are not often used in the world. They're less than 2 percent of the world's consumption of coffee beans, and are often overlooked as they do not have the same amount of caffeine. They have a distinctive taste that many coffee drinkers find appealing.Liberica coffee beans, despite being extremely rare however, are quite well-loved in a few parts of Asia. Coffeee are especially common in Malaysia and Indonesia as they have a large Muslim population. The coffee industry in these countries has traditionally been extremely strong and drinking coffee after prayer is a part the culture.Liberica coffee's history dates back to the 1890s, when a global epidemic caused by rust on the coffee leaf caused a massive loss of the arabica crop. This event spurred coffee producers to discover an alternative species that could thrive in tropical climates, and they soon discovered the Liberica plant.Liberica plants have a high tolerance for pests and diseases and pests, making the perfect substitute for the ravaged arabica crop. Liberica is also able to thrive in lower altitudes and hot temperatures which enables it to thrive in Southeast Asia's climate. This is why today the majority of coffee that is produced in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia originates from Liberica beans.ExcelsaAlthough it's rare for coffee lovers to come across excelsa beans in their cups, these exclusive beans are beginning to gain a reputation for their unique flavor. According to Komal Sable, a fifth generation coffee farmer at South India Coffee Co. These beans are "a variation of the liberica species that has a similar teardrop shape but are smaller in size." It's important to keep in mind that despite the close resemblance between excelsa and liberica but this is not an individual one.It's not easy to classify excelsa beans. This confusion is largely to blame for the low the presence of these beans in the current coffee industry. Because of this, many growers, roasters, and brewers don't know how to cultivate or utilize these beans in a proper manner.In the end, it's up for the individual to decide if they like the taste of the coffee excelsa and it may take a bit of time to find a blend that fits their preferences. The most important thing is to remain open to new ideas and give every kind of coffee you can until you find one that you truly enjoy. You'll discover the vast array of possibilities the unique beans have to offer. It's a journey worth the journey.
