How often do you drink coffee? Have you ever stopped to think about the many different types of coffee beans or where they come from? The chances are probably not that often! If you are a self-confessed coffee lover, to really appreciate your coffee I invite you to learn more about the main coffee bean types that are currently found on the market.
Types of Coffee Beans
- Arabica
Known as one of the most popular and well known types of coffee bean, Arabica beans are the most commonly produced variety and are considered higher quality beans. In fact, over 60% of the coffee beans in the world that are produced are Arabica variety.
- Robusta
The next variety of coffee bean is Robusta, which is the second most produced in the world.Robusta plant have double the amount of caffeine in them, meaning that they are an excellent choice for a real boost and offer a more harsh flavour. The beans also have a smooth texture and it is often said that they even have a slight chocolate hint to them, which makes them ideal to have with milk and sugar (perhaps as an iced coffee).
- Liberica
One of the hardest types of coffee bean to come by is the Liberica bean. They are larger than the other beans and is the only one in the world that is known to have an irregular shape. Liberica beans are also unique in their aroma and some say that they are not only smoky, but they are fruity and floral too.
- Excelsa
The Excelsa bean is a variant of the Liberica family but with some distinctive notes that earn its own title. It's a Southeast Asian coffee bean that is relatively rare to find - those that do find it delight in its tart, fruity taste with a unique roasting profile.
