Coffee is a drink that is enjoyed by millions of people around the world. It is a drink that can be consumed in many different ways. The most common way to consume coffee is to brew it by boiling water. This process is known as brewing coffee. The four different beans used for brewing coffee include Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Robusta Hybrids. Here we will discuss each of these four types in detail.
Arabica Coffee Beans
Arabica coffee beans are the most common type of beans used for making coffee. They have a very distinctive taste and aroma. Arabica beans are also known as Coffea Arabica. These beans are grown in the highlands of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Yemen. Arabica beans have more caffeine than Robusta or Liberica coffee beans. Arabica beans are considered the most expensive of all the coffee beans.
Robusta Coffee Beans
Robusta coffee is produced in many countries worldwide, including Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc. It has a lower amount of caffeine than Arabica, but it is cheaper to produce, and it has a stronger aroma than Arabica coffee. The taste of Robusta is similar to that of Arabica, but it is not quite as aromatic or sweet tasting as the latter. It is popular for its ability to withstand more extended periods of storage. Robusta is also known as Coffea Canephora or Caffea Canephora.
Liberica Coffee Beans
Liberica coffee is grown in Central America and South America, mainly in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. It has a very distinctive taste and aroma, like an African bean. Still, it lacks the sweetness that you get from an Arabica bean, making it perfect for those who want their cup to be less sweet without compromising on flavor or aroma. Libericas are also known as Coffea Liberica or Caffea Libericia.
Hybrid Coffee Beans
Hybrid beans are a combination of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans. They have a lower level of caffeine than Arabica and Robusta, but they have the same flavor as that of an Arabica bean. They are also known as Coffea Canephora x Caffea Canephora or C.C.x C.C hybrids. Popular for their ability to produce a more balanced cup of coffee, hybrid beans are used for making espresso.
