Most people stop at Arabica and Robusta.
But coffee goes much deeper than that.
Different species and varieties shape how a coffee tastes, how it grows, and how it’s processed. From the higher acidity and complexity of Arabica to the intensity of Robusta, each one brings something different to the cup.
Then there are varieties like Typica and Bourbon, which form the foundation of many coffees, and others like Geisha, known for more delicate, expressive profiles.
Even lesser-known types like Liberica and Excelsa add their own distinct character, often showing up in blends or niche lots.
Understanding these differences doesn’t just make you more informed. It helps you choose coffee that actually matches what you enjoy.
