Arabica Coffee (Arabica)

Arabica is the most traditional variety of Arabica coffee. Originating in East Africa, coffee was monopolized by the Arab world for a long time before the 15th century AD, so it was called "Arabic coffee" by Europeans. Arabica coffee was the primary commodity coffee in the world, but it was only at the end of the 19th century that a widespread disease occurred and growers began to look for other disease-resistant varieties. Arabica coffee is still the most important coffee variety, accounting for about 3/4 of the world's total coffee production. It is cultivated mainly in Latin American countries, but also in Indonesia and the Pacific islands. At present, the geographical climate of Brazil, the world's largest coffee producing area, is very suitable for the growth of Arabica coffee. The main coffee varieties planted are also small fruit coffee. Brazil's coffee production accounts for more than 1/3 of the world's total production.

Robusta coffee berries are larger than Arabica coffee but smaller than Libya coffee, disease resistance is strong, suitable for growth in the tropical climate at an altitude of 200-300 meters, high caffeine concentration, about 2%-4%, but the entrance has acid, astringent taste, mainly planted in Indonesia, India, Uganda and other tropical countries, most of which are used as instant coffee.

Libya coffee is also known as Liberian coffee

Liberica is a pest-resistant variety suitable for high temperature and humid climates. Its berries and seeds are nearly twice as large as Arabica coffee. The aroma is rich but the taste is light. The general Nordic people prefer this coffee. It is mainly cultivated in Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire and Madagascar in Africa.
