What are the categories of coffee?

Coffee trees can be roughly divided into five types, of which Arabica and Robusta are more common.

Arabica species, which account for more than 70% of the world's total output, are generally grown on slopes above 900 meters above sea level and are mostly found in tropical high-altitude areas such as Central and South America, East Africa, Southeast Asia and Hawaii. Its pleasant aroma, rich taste, and the tree needs more manual care, the stability of temperature and humidity in the climate is also higher, so the price is more expensive.

Robaxter, which is highly adaptable to the environment, accounts for 30% of the world's total output. Its flavor is mediocre and bitter, and more importantly, the content of caffeine is 2 to 3 times that of Arabica. Generally grow on the slope of 200 to 600 meters above sea level, the requirement of manual care is very low, so the price is relatively low, mostly used for canned and instant coffee.
