Coffee Varieties: Arabica

Coffee Varieties : Coffee grows and evolves differently all around the world. We know this, just like we know that a coffee variety that grows well in Ethiopia might well not thrive in Indonesia, for instance. Different factors, such as humidity, rainfall, sunlight, altitude, and soil characteristics all have an impact on a coffee plant’s yield and quality, which will vary tremendously based on the variety that is planted.
This is why it’s important to learn about the different varieties that grow in a certain country or growing region. For producers, the wrong decision can be costly, and it can affect the profitability of their farm for years to come. Further along the supply chain, for traders, understanding the variety of a coffee lets them know about the flavour profiles they can expect, and allows them to accurately forecast prices.

The geisha variety from Panama was sourced from the CATIE, in Costa Rica before the 1950s. CATIE holds a bank of coffee (and cacao) for the preservation of this crop.

Thank Ethiopia and Africa for your coffee!!!

Great video. He packs a TON of historical info in a very short time. It felt like I was cramming for an exam.

I think it’s cool that mankind and coffee got its start in the same territory. Just stand to reason why man loves his Coffee.

[@Tomatohater64]

After drinking black coffee for the past 45 years, my favorite is definitely Ethiopian Mocha Harrar.

[@danielamante8987]

Im half Ethiopian and its the best one I had so far as well my father told me when he grow up there everyone went mad for Mocha will we every find a better one I hope so but very hard to beat 🇪🇹

[@CuriousChannel1]

Ethiopian coffee the best,no debate..cheersssss

[@Tomatohater64]

@@CuriousChannel1 I agree, but I think the delightful people of Costa Rica might argue the point a bit! 😀😄

Everybody have their own taste...but some folk over there fight for Gesha..(auction) because it's the best!!

I love that coffee grew up like two blocks from humanity! I have a newfound fondness for my morning cup. (hey there neighbor). I also found this video hours after deciding etheopian yirgacheffe is my favorite coffee, at least for now! Seriously its so good, go get some.

[@azgardener79]

That's my favorite as well. Very complex flavor. Can't really describe it, just have to try it. Its amazing :)

[@jasonsimmons8309]

[@ohreallybigdeal]

As a newbie to the coffee world, I find this video clear, logical and engaging. It definitely deepened my understanding. Personally I like it way better than the Asher Yaron TED Talk, since the latter is more subjective and desperately need more supporting evidence. I would love to see more videos like this one being posted!

[@CuriousChannel1]

hi,I would like to upload a doc "a film about coffee" but due to copyright....I am really sorry...you can watch into archieve.org search " a film about coffee"...

Thank you so much for the recommendation! The film was artfully shot and its content intriguing! It was definitely made by people who love coffee so much they insist everything about coffee has to be perfect!

[@omarsaad1575]

first I want to thank you for the video Being from Yemen and watching the video describing the map of Coffee roots and how it spread out of Yemen "Typica", I just want to mention that Mocha Is a name of a city port in the red sea where Yemeni Coffee from different areas in Yemen were shipped to Turkey and the travel from Yemen to South-east Asia was for one type of Yemeni mutant gen of multiple types all from the Ethiopian one, yet it spread around Yemen and with time developed it's own characteristics " farming in high and dry altitude starting from 800 meters over the sea level and above to 2300 meters " there are about 10 different types of Yemeni Coffee and they are magnificent in comparison to taste, tree production and quality. now that I'm out of Yemen in Djibouti I start to see and note those differences in taste bean shape and the incredible diversity of the Ethiopian Coffee in comparison, yet the Yemeni coffee still mange's to be distinguished for powerful small beans and taste. I acknowledge that most Yemeni farmers stopped cultivating Coffee and planted Qat "another tree coming from Ethiopia" yet some old farms still have it and working in Coffee plantation around Yemen and I hope soon after the war in the country stop's people will come gradually to plant Yemeni Coffee again now that we have a formal concept of "Speciality Coffee ". My friend Mr. Hussein Ahmed has started a company called Mocha Coffee Hunters and he is doing a great job with the Yemeni farmers in terms of farming education and production. Peace

[@billygowhoop]

i dream of one day going to ethiopia and kenya to see different coffee producers, yirgacheffe was my first coffee that blew me away and those two countries have since become my favorite origins

[@alexandergunshooter964]

I trade in coffee, both green and roasted, I have been at it for 2 years now and Ethiopia coffee leads the pack.

[@Carlos-ox8gy]

Probably one of the most informative and educational piece of resource I have ever come across on KZbin based on coffee. It seems to me that history has yet to be recorded with where coffee has taken a firm step, but nevertheless in our day and age we can easily say that we have experienced one of the most asserted and pleasant flavours with regards to this cherry grown in different areas of the continents. I do however (although not much information can be found due to many differing narrations) feel that the beginning of coffee seems to have many conflicting recordings as to where it began and how it travelled so far out from its origins, it would have been great if evidence and dates were provided in relation to the initial growth of coffee in which you touched upon briefly in the beginning of the video. I get that nostalgic feeling of being inside a lecture back at uni (honestly if you just close your eyes and listen to this man's voice), and appreciate greatly the time and effort that was put into this piece of art. It would have been great to do more follow up videos on in-depth reviews of the more typical found coffee rather than the much rarer species. I had no idea what I was expecting when I clicked on this video, once again an amazing intro and very in-depth look at the history of coffee and it's variety. Much appreciated.

[@moatazbaras4829]

Notice: The first written record of coffee made from roasted coffee beans (botanical seeds) comes from Arab scholars, who wrote that it was useful in prolonging their working hours. The Arab innovation in Yemen of making a brew from roasted beans, spread first among the Egyptians and Turks, and later on found its way around the world. Other scholars believe that the coffee plant was introduced from Yemen, based on a Yemeni traditional.

[@021mr5]

I have some coffe plants here in the Philippines. I think these are robusta varieties. When they start to flower the surrounding air really smells nice. The flowers are so fragrant.

This is by far the best explanatory and informative presentation on the different varietals of coffee that I have ever seen. The fact that this video had a presentation run time of just less than 30 minutes is a testimony to keeping the info. organized but also not too simple or generalized. Again, awesome coffee presentation.

That was fascinating hearing about the history of coffee as well as it’s varieties..Most people I think ,don’t realy think of this until they are made aware of the different varieties and characteristics such as sweet note,citrus,spice etc.The whole coffee experience changes when you understand this.So even if you arn’t a coffee fenatic you develop a better appreciation for good coffee and flavor.

[@lombaxulator]

Awesome that the history behind so many varieties are talked about- it's hard to put into perspective how many there are/were/are to come. I think flavour profiling is a great way to suggest "good" coffee, but whether a certain variety tastes good or not is completely subjective and personal preference! - an example could be like having a favourite colour. Although taste is subjective, I also think it helps to broaden one's perspective through expanding one's palette, to be able to appreciate all of the fine gustatory variations.

[@mikegarzon6676]

I have tried many coffees in the US and I have tried many coffee traveling to Central, South America and Africa and all those coffee are really bitter and apparently it is because of the type of coffee they have and specially because of the process of getting the final dry coffee bean. The only coffee that was perfect in flavor, smell, bold, rich and not bitter was the Colombian Coffee and I learned why. Colombian coffee has a very precise process where they use clean water, they pick only the best red coffee beans , and most of the coffee plants are Arabica coffee plans. Really the best coffee.( I am not Colombian. Colombia really specialize in producing the best coffee)

Good job! very informative, especially on the Typica varieties and their hybrids. I am glad to see the growing interest in quality coffee. It is one of the great pleasures in life. And I am fortunate to have had kick-ass second to none premium coffee grown in its (aboriginal) native earth. To think of the coffee people were drinking only 20 years ago! It delivered the caffeine, but nothing to speak of in terms of flavor and aroma.

You are a great story teller, very knowledgeable too. Could you perhaps share what sources I could read to learn more about the categorization of coffee and its history? I find bits and pieces around the web but it's difficult to connect the dots to see the bigger picture. You already explained a lot in this video but there's so much more out there. With climate change hitting every corner of the globe, I'm expecting to see real change in the world of coffee and it would be nice to understand where it all came from and where it's going to.

Impressive and specifically if compared to Coffee from my home area, the Bugisu Arabica from Mountain Elgon Region. Which means the rout of culture and migrants to Elgon is from Ethiopia. I need some more light and information to whoever can help as African original Cultural and development routes are developed.

[@tsiggy]

The imperative mood of the Greek verb for "to pee" is caturra (κατούρα).

[@harrold56]

I think with the devastation of coffee plantations due to leaf rust, hemealia vastatrix in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) the cultivations shifted to canoferas and to the new world. In early 18s this island was producing premium arabicas and was the major expoter then.

A little bit correction about ateng variety from Indonesia. Ateng actually doesn't referred to the most famous comedian around 1970s in Indonesia, but it's actually referred to the area where it grows which is ATENG, the abbreviation for Aceh TENGah..

I am Indonesian and I always wondered whey they named it Ateng and only when you mentioned it that it was named after the comedian then it rang a bell. I never thought that is the same Ateng as the comedian. Ateng was physically short (however not a dwarf I believe). And this may resemble the Ateng variety tree itself perhaps?
