Arabica

Arabica coffee is one of the most popular and widely enjoyed types of coffee in the world. It comes from the Coffea arabica plant and is well known for producing smooth, rich and flavourful coffee. Arabica beans are often described as having a slightly sweet taste, with flavours that can include chocolate, nuts, berries, fruit or caramel, depending on where the beans are grown and how they are roasted. Arabica coffee is mainly grown in countries with warm climates and high-quality growing conditions, including Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia and Costa Rica. The environment where the coffee plant grows can have a big effect on the final flavour of the beans. Things such as altitude, soil, rainfall and temperature can all make a difference. Compared with Robusta coffee, Arabica beans generally have less caffeine and are often considered smoother and more delicate in flavour. This makes Arabica a popular choice for people who enjoy a balanced and enjoyable cup of coffee. The beans can be roasted in different ways, from light to dark, which can bring out different flavours and aromas.

Robusta

Robusta coffee is another popular type of coffee that is enjoyed all around the world. It comes from the Coffea canephore plant and is well known for its strong, bold and slightly bitter flavour. Robusta beans usually have a higher caffeine content than Arabica beans, which can give coffee a stronger taste and an extra boost of energy. Robusta coffee is mainly grown in warm climates, particularly in countries such as Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia and Uganda. The Robusta coffee plant is generally hardy and can grow in conditions where some other coffee plants may find it more difficult to grow. This makes Robusta an important type of coffee for farmers and coffee producers around the world. Robusta beans often have a rich, earthy flavour, with nutty or chocolate-like notes. They also produce a thick layer of crema when used to make espresso, which is why Robusta is sometimes included in espresso blends. Mixing Robusta with Arabica can create a coffee that combines the smooth flavours of Arabica with the strong body and extra caffeine of Robusta. At Coffee Corner, we appreciate Robusta coffee for its bold flavour, strong aroma and distinctive character. It is a great choice for people who enjoy a powerful cup of coffee and want something with a little more strength. Whether enjoyed on its own or blended with Arabica beans, Robusta brings its own special flavour to every cup.

Liberica

Liberica coffee is a unique and less common type of coffee that is known for its large beans and distinctive flavour. It comes from the Coffea liberica plant and is mainly grown in countries such as the Philippines, Malaysia and parts of Southeast Asia. Liberica coffee plants can grow much taller than Arabica and Robusta plants, making them quite different in appearance. Liberica has a strong and unusual flavour that can be described as fruity, woody and slightly smoky. It can also have hints of chocolate or floral flavours, depending on how the beans are grown and roasted. The beans are larger and have a different shape compared with the more common Arabica and Robusta beans. Although Liberica makes up a much smaller part of the world's coffee production, it is appreciated by coffee lovers who enjoy trying something different. Its distinctive taste and aroma make it an interesting choice for people who want to explore different types of coffee. At Coffee Corner, we love Liberica coffee because it offers something different from the usual coffee varieties. Its unique flavour and character make it a fascinating coffee to discover and enjoy.

Excelsa

Excelsa coffee is a unique and less common type of coffee known for its interesting flavour and distinctive character. It was once classified as its own coffee species, but it is now generally considered a variety of Liberica. It is mainly associated with Southeast Asia, particularly countries such as the Philippines. Excelsa coffee has a complex flavour that can be both fruity and slightly smoky. It may have hints of berries, dark fruit, spices and a light tartness, creating a taste that is quite different from more familiar coffees such as Arabica and Robusta. Its unusual flavour makes it popular with people who enjoy discovering new and different types of coffee. The coffee cherries grow on plants that are related to Liberica and can thrive in warm climates. Excelsa is not produced in the same large quantities as Arabica or Robusta, which makes it a more unusual coffee to find. At Coffee Corner, we love Excelsa coffee because of its unique taste and character. It is a great choice for anyone who enjoys trying something new and exploring the different flavours that coffee can offer.
