Coffee is a beverage without which only a few can start their day. Not only is it delicious, this drink brings many benefits to the health of our body. Coffee effectively reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke, lowers cholesterol, raises energy and helps with better concentration. We enjoy coffee whenever we can seize the opportunity, but do you know what all varieties of coffee are there?
Arabica coffee is one of the most widespread and popular coffee varieties in the world. Arabica is characterized by a very small proportion of caffeine, from 0.8 to 1.7 percent. This variety thrives best in South America, East Africa and India. As for the cultivation of this coffee, arabica is very sensitive and demanding, which is why it is not at all easy to grow. It grows at temperatures of 15 to 25 degrees Celsius.
Apart from arabica, another of the most popular varieties of coffee is canephora (robusta). This coffee thrives in slightly warmer weather conditions, more precisely at temperatures up to 30 degrees Celsius. Its grain is much smaller than arabica, and it also contains a higher percentage of caffeine. It is often used as a cheaper version of arabica. It is mostly grown in Indonesia, West Africa and Asia.
Liberica is one of the most delicious coffees on the market, also one of the most resistant. Thanks to its high resistance, it is somewhat easier to grow. This is a variety that needs extremely high temperatures and a lot of water to grow. It contains a large percentage of caffeine, and is mostly grown in Liberia.
