Regional Analysis of Coffee Bean species

Coffee production areas in the world are distributed to the south and north of the equator, also known as "coffee belts". There are more than 10 kinds of coffee beans produced between coffee belts, but there are only two kinds of coffee beans, Arabica beans and Robota beans.

Before the early coffee became popular, Robota beans, which were widely grown in Asia, were more popular because of the limited channels to obtain good African coffee beans. This kind of beans are generally grown at lower elevations. Due to the influence of climate, beans are low in fat and sugar, and taste is bitter and strong, without much flavor change and characteristics.

Another kind of Arabica bean, which is grown at high altitude, is the vast majority of boutique coffee beans on the market, because it is located in higher altitude areas, grows slowly, and can develop beans with a sound flavor. Arabica beans are sweet, soft and fruity, and are loved by coffee people.

Although the common coffee beans can be divided into the above two categories and their characteristics are summarized, in fact, the flavor of coffee beans is not only affected by altitude, but also changed by soil, monsoon, climate change and so on. therefore, the flavor of each country or manor that produces coffee beans is different, you can first use the world map to find your favorite bean flavor.
