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,
These beans are grown at high altitudes and need to be in an area that has a steady
rainfall and plenty of shade.

Robusta
The next variety of coffee bean is Robusta, which is the second most produced in the
world.
‘As the name hints, the Robusta bean is both hardy and is also immune to a variety of
diseases too.
This type of coffee bean grows best in a hot climate with irregular rainfall and can grow
at a number of altitudes too. Compared to Arabica beans, those that grow on the
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
Although having recently been classified as a member of the Liberica family, the
Excelsa bean is vastly different in taste when compared to the Liberica coffee bean
