Three original species of coffee: Arabica, Robusta and Liberia

You've all heard of "Arabi" coffee. Famous Colombia coffee The best quality coffee beans are Arabica varieties. When it comes to coffee varieties, we must first understand the types of coffee trees. At present, the most important coffee beans in the world mainly come from Arabica, Robasta and Liberia. These three varieties of coffee beans are the three original species of coffee trees, and the quality of coffee beans produced by other coffee trees is also the highest.

Arabica coffee trees originating in Ethiopia account for 700% of the world's coffee bean output; the world-famous Blue Mountain coffee, mocha coffee, etc., are almost all Arabica species. Arabica coffee trees are suitable for growing in mountains with large temperature differences between day and night, and in soils with low humidity and good drainage; the ideal altitude is 500 meters to 2000 meters, and the higher the altitude, the better the quality. However, due to its weak resistance to pests and diseases, it is more difficult to plant than the other two coffee trees. Robasta coffee trees originate in Congo, Africa, and account for about 20% to 30% of the world's production. Robachinta coffee tree is suitable for planting in the lowlands below 500 meters above sea level. It is extremely adaptable to the external environment, able to resist harsh weather, resist pests and diseases, and prepare the soil. Weeding, pruning also does not require much manual care, can be allowed to grow in the wild, is an easy to cultivate coffee trees. However, its flavor is more bitter than Arabica, and its quality is much inferior, so it is mostly used to make instant coffee. Coffee sold in fast food restaurants is mainly made of Robasta coffee beans. Because it is grown in Africa, most Africans drink robasta coffee. The Liberian coffee tree is grown in Liberia, Africa. Its cultivation history is shorter than that of the other two coffee trees, so it is only planted in a few places such as Liberia, Suriname and Guyana, so its production accounts for less than 5% of the world's production. Libwana coffee trees are suitable for growing in lowlands, producing coffee beans with a strong aroma and bitterness.
