What we are concerned about here, which is easier to understand, is the level from the beginning of the genus Coffee. You can take a look at the following picture to learn about the main commercial varieties (Species) of the genus Coffea Genus and its small variety branch (Varieties).

[C.canephora Pierre ex A.Froehner.] Coffea. Canephora species, Pierre ex A.Froehner is the two earliest discovered and named people; C.canephora is the paternal line of arabica, and C. eugenioides is the matrilineal line of arabica.

[Typica] A variety was first introduced from Ethiopia to the Arabica branch of Yemen, and it was also the earliest variety introduced from Yemen to Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America.

[Bourbon bourbon], like Typica, is an early variety introduced from Ethiopia to the Arabica branch of Yemen, and later introduced to the French bourbon island (Bourbon Island).

[Mocha/Moka/Mokha/Mocca mocha] Origin in Ethiopia's Harrar producing area, early Arabica coffee was exported to Europe from Yemen's Al-Mahka port, so outside consumers only know the coffee from Al-Mahka, and gradually get used to Mahka coffee, but there are many different language spellings of 'Mahka', so it can be said that it gets its name from Yemen's Al-Mahka port; now Moka is commonly seen in Harrar, Yemen and Hawaii.

[Longberry Longguo] A natural variant of Typica found in the Harrar producing area of Ethiopia, named longberry because of its slender shape, is now grown in Sumatra in Indonesia.

[Heirlooms] native species, most Ethiopia varieties will greet you by this name, because we don't know what the specific species are, so the official general name is the original species (joke). In fact, it is because there are too many varieties in Ethiopia. It is like the natural gene bank in Arabica. On the one hand, there are many varieties and it is difficult to identify and classify them. On the other hand, the Ethiopian government is unwilling to disclose the information of these varieties for the sake of protection. So it is collectively called the native species Heirloom.

[HDT] Hybirdo De Timor, a natural hybrid of arabica and robusta, was first discovered on the island of Timor. It is also called Tim Tim in Indonesian and arabusta in Africa.

[s Line] S line is a variety with Liberica lineage, and S288 is a variety artificially bred by arabica and liberica. Later, S288 and Kents were re-bred to get S795, which is now mainly planted in India and Southeast Asia.
