Coffee is not just a drink. It's a culture, a lifestyle, even a faithful companion in every morning and late night. But did you know that behind one cup of coffee, there are many stories from different parts of the world?
Every country has its own specialty coffee with unique flavors, aromas, and characteristics. From strong bitter to smooth and fruity, the world of coffee is vast and tempting to explore. Let's get to know the types of coffee in the world that you must try at least once in your lifetime!
1. Arabica (Coffea Arabica) - The Beloved of the Coffee World
This is the star of the coffee world. Arabica grows in highlands with a cool climate. It has a smooth taste, balanced acidity, and complex aroma. No wonder 60-70% of the world's coffee production comes from this type.
Origin: Ethiopia, Brazil, Colombia
Taste: Smooth, fruity, sometimes slightly floral
Suitable for those who like light coffee with elegant aroma.
2. Robusta (Coffea Canephora) - Strong, Bitter and Powerful
Known for its higher caffeine content than Arabica, Robusta has a more bitter flavor, thicker body, and strong aftertaste. It is often used in espresso blends or instant coffee.
Origin: West Africa, Vietnam, Indonesia
Taste: Bold, earthy, sometimes like bitter chocolate
A great choice for those who need an “energy kick” in the morning.
3. Liberica - Rare and Exotic
A type of coffee that is rarely found, but is on the rise due to its unique flavor characteristics. Liberica has a larger bean size and a distinctive smoky aroma. Found in Southeast Asia, including some parts of Indonesia.
Origin: Liberia, Malaysia, Philippines
Taste: Smoky, woody, sometimes herbal-like
For coffee lovers who dare to try out of the box flavors.
4. Excelsa - The Mysterious One from Asia
Actually part of the Liberica family, Excelsa is often considered a separate breed. It adds a unique flavor dimension to coffee blends: fruity but with the depth of a dark roast.
Origin: Southeast Asia
Taste: Fruity, fresh acidic, complex
Love surprises in your cup of coffee? Excelsa is a must-try!
5. Specialty Coffee from Around the World
It's not enough to know the type of plant, you can also explore coffee based on its origin. Each country produces a different flavor profile depending on the soil, climate, and post-harvest process.
Examples of the world's favorite specialty coffees:
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe - Floral & citrusy
Jamaican Blue Mountain - Smooth, low acid
Sumatran Mandheling - Earthy, spicy, and full body
Colombian Supremo - Balanced, sweet & nutty
So, do you know which one to try?
The world of coffee is vast and ever-evolving. From elegant Arabica to bold Robusta, from Brazil to Aceh Gayo, there are always new flavors to explore. And the good news - you don't have to travel the world to taste them. All you have to do is open your eyes, open your heart, and open the lid of the coffee package of your choice.
