Among them, the most commonly used coffee is divided into three categories: small seed coffee beans (Arabica) and medium seed coffee beans (Robusta).

Coffee plants grown in different parts of the world include the following: ARABICA/ROBUSTA/LIBERICA/DEWEVREI/STENOPHILLA/CONGENSIS/ABEOKUTAS/KLAINII/ZAANGUEBARIAE/RACEMOSA. There are three main types of coffee most commonly used-Arabica, Robusta, and liberica.

Arabica beans-Arabica beans are best grown in temperate and subtropical environments at altitudes of 3,000 - 6,500 feet (600-2,000 meters), which allows them to grow longer and thus make coffee taste more intense. Coffee beans are oval and flat. Arabica coffee contains more elegant flavor, delicate taste, fragrant smell, high acidity, smooth texture, bring aroma and smoothness to coffee. Its caffeine content is around 1%. Because of its delicate growing environment, each coffee tree produces only 1-1.5 pounds of coffee per year. Many coffee enthusiasts and professional producers like to choose this coffee. Arabica coffee accounts for 75% of global production. Because the Arabica coffee tree is susceptible to pests, frost and drought, it requires a very delicate environment to grow, especially the right climatic conditions.

Robusta coffee beans-Robusta coffee beans come from a variety that produces high yields and is less susceptible to pests and diseases, and are more resistant to large temperature differences than small beans. It is best grown at lower elevations. Medium-sized coffee beans, just like its English name "Robusta," have a strong taste and texture, with a bitter taste, and are not too acidic, giving strength and concentration to coffee. This coffee contains 2% caffeine and produces more beans than Arabica coffee, which can produce 2-3 pounds of coffee per year. This coffee is often treated as a low-end coffee on the market. Although you won't find it in shops selling premium coffee, Robusta coffee is widely used to make instant coffee and blends, as well as iced and canned coffee.

Liberian coffee beans-Liberian coffee is recognized as the third largest coffee variety in the coffee trade. It is also grown at low elevations. This coffee is produced in Africa and exported only to Europe, and it is also a cheap coffee, very similar to Robusta coffee.
