Hainan-Grown Liberica Coffee Beans Explained
If you’ve ever opened a sack of mixed green coffee beans and caught a whiff of something off—earthy, musty, or just plain strange—you might have encountered a less common coffee species. One such bean, rarely seen in global markets but grown in small pockets of China, is Liberica. So what exactly is it, and how does it differ from the Arabica or Robusta you know? This article gets into the specifics using Hainan-grown examples.
