FrontStreet Coffee - Typica Variety Introduction

Basic Arabica Varieties

Among Arabica species, Ethiopian Typica and Yemeni Bourbon are the closest coffee varieties to the original species that people have known to date. After being transplanted from their origin to Central and South America and Asia, many Arabica variants have been derived. Most of the small-grain coffee cultivated in Yunnan, China belongs to Catimor, one of the Typica variants, while other regions also have Bourbon variants.

Typica

Typica is the original variety of all Arabica species. Known for its sweetness, it is said that Typica originated from southern Sudan, gradually flourished in Ethiopia, and was finally cultivated in Yemen around the 7th century AD for commercial production. Typica was brought to the East Indies by the Dutch and was the first coffee variety to arrive in the West Indies - planted by Gabriel de Clieu in the French Martinique in 1720. The ripe fruit of Typica is red. This variety has relatively low yield and extremely poor disease resistance, but its excellent cup quality still makes it popular worldwide.

Includes: Blue Mountain, Kona, Elephant Bean, Sumatra.
