8 Types of Coffee Beans from Different Countries – For Coffee Drinkers

Here is a list of 8 different types of coffee beans, harvested from across the world. Get educated on which type of coffee bean comes from each region. And each variety's characteristics, flavour, and popularity.

1

The Three Main Varieties of Coffee

Of all the coffee varieties in the world, there are three distinct types that have earned a reputation as being the best types of coffee. The beans are differentiated from the flavour and aroma they take on when roasted. Plus, these varieties are known to produce sub-varieties of coffee. The 3 main types of coffee beans are Robusta, Liberica, and Arabica. Robusta has a higher percentage of caffeine than other varieties and a strong flavour. Liberica is the second variety of coffee but offers the lowest yield in comparison to the other two. Arabica is the most popular and superior variety of coffee distinguished for its aroma and flavour. Arabica and Robusta are used to produce 80% of the world's coffee supply. In fact, some of the best brands of coffee capsules Sri Lanka has to offer are made from the Arabica bean and are the perfect match to Nespresso Capsules. Sri Lanka too, a nation of tea drinkers, is seeing an increase in coffee drinkers.

Arabica from Ethiopia

Coffee drinking in Ethiopia has roots as far back as 800 AD. And as all discerning coffee drinkers know, Ethiopia is where coffee was discovered. Ethiopia harvests about 384,000,000kg of coffee annually. And is lauded for growing the tastiest varieties of the world's favourite drink. In Sri Lanka, too, you can savour premium Ethiopian coffee, courtesy of coffee producers such as Fits Retail.

The Vietnamese Variety of Robusta

One of the world's main coffee producers, Vietnam takes coffee drinking very seriously. And the nation prefers the strong flavours of the Robusta coffee bean. Thus, Vietnam is thought to be the Robusta variety's native land.

4

The Indonesian Version of Arabica and Robusta

Did you know that Indonesia's coffee production exceeds 660,000,000kg annually? The archipelago is often linked to different varieties of coffee although the types grown there are not as rich in flavour or aroma as the Brazilian and Colombian coffee varieties.

5

Arabica Coffee from Brazil

Brazil holds a top position as one of the best coffee-producing nations in the world. In 2016 alone, the country produced a staggering 2,594,100 tons of the bean. Brazilian coffee is popular for its smooth flavours and low acidic content.

6

Robusta and Arabica from India

These two varieties of coffee are cultivated in large numbers across the country. The south is said to produce the most popular varieties of Robusta and Arabica. These beans are said to offer mild flavours and a higher level of acidity.

7

The Colombian Version of Arabica

Coffee from Colombia is just as popular as the coffee from Brazil. In fact, the Colombian Arabica is said to match the premium flavours of Arabica coffee from Brazil. The country produces around 810,000,000kg of coffee annually. The most flavoursome types of Colombian Arabica coffee are the Supremo and Extra varieties.

8

Arabica and Robusta from Uganda

Although loved as much as Ethiopian or Kenyan coffee, the coffee varieties of Uganda do reflect the African coffees, which offer a strong aroma and acidic content of fine wine. A larger percentage of Uganda's coffee is exported. And this is thought to be a great asset to the nation's economy.
