Arabica (Arabica) is the most traditional Arabica coffee variety. Originally from East Africa, coffee was monopolized by the Arab world for a long time before the 15th century, so it was called "Arabian coffee" by Europeans. In the primitive time, all the commercial coffee in the world was Arabica coffee, but at the end of the 19th century, there was a large-scale disease, and growers began to look for other disease-resistant varieties. Arabica coffee is still the main coffee variety, accounting for about 3% of the world's total coffee output. It is mainly grown in Latin American countries, but also partly in Indonesia and the Pacific islands. At present, the geographical and climatic conditions of Brazil, the largest coffee producer in the world, are very suitable for the growth of Arabica coffee, and 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 output.

Robusta coffee is also known as Congolese coffee.

The berries of Robusta coffee are larger than Arabica fruit coffee but smaller than Libyan fruit coffee, and it has strong disease resistance. It is suitable for growing in a tropical climate with an altitude of 200-300 meters. It contains a high caffeine concentration of about 2% Lou 4%, but its taste is sour and astringent. It is mainly grown in some tropical countries such as Indonesia, India and Uganda, and most of it is used as instant coffee.
