What are the common types and classifications of coffee beans? Coffee classification and characteristics? What are the common types of coffee beans and their origin?

There are only two species that are commercially valuable and cultivated in large numbers. One species is Arabica and the other is KOBUSTA. Different varieties of coffee beans have different tastes, but even the same variety of coffee trees, due to different soil, different climate and other effects, the growth of coffee beans also have their own unique flavor.

Arabica coffee trees are difficult to grow. They prefer mild days and cooler nights. Cold, hot and humid climates can kill them. Arabica coffee trees need to be planted on inclined slopes at high altitudes, so harvesting must be carried out manually climbing up and down, which is extremely difficult. However, due to the aroma of Arabica coffee beans is particularly good, taste balanced, and caffeine content is relatively low, so although it is difficult to plant, but in fact the amount of cultivation accounts for about 70% of the total coffee cultivation.

Robasta coffee trees are resistant to high temperatures, cold, moisture, drought and even mold infestation. Its adaptability is extremely strong, it can grow very well on the flat ground, and the harvest does not necessarily require manual work, and can be completely carried out by vibrating machines. In terms of cultivation, robasta coffee trees have many advantages, except that they produce coffee beans with less bitter aroma, less acidity and twice the caffeine content of arabica. Robasta coffee beans have more personality in the mouth, and are often used for blending or instant coffee.

These two kinds of coffee beans are divided by origin. Arabica is mainly produced in Brazil, Colombia, Central American countries, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and other countries in South America. Arabica coffee beans are larger in size, uniform in color and shiny.

Robasta coffee beans are mostly smaller particles, different shapes and sizes, and the appearance is not very good. They are mainly produced in Uganda, Cote d'Ivoire, Congo, Zaire, Angola and other countries. Generally, when drinking single-item coffee in Taiwanese cafes, the most familiar coffee beans, such as Brazil's mountain soil, Colombia mantinin, Yemen mocha, Jamaica blue mountain, etc., are all high-quality coffee beans planted in Arabica.
