The Coffee Bean
Overview
Coffee, a beloved beverage worldwide, is enjoyed hot or iced, with or without cream and sugar. This popular drink is made from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant, commonly known as coffee beans.
The Unique Coffee Bean
Coffee beans contain natural compounds that can have mind-altering effects, which some find pleasurable. These compounds act as a defense mechanism for the plant, as they are toxic in large quantities to various creatures that might otherwise consume them in the wild.
Distinctive Characteristics
Coffee beans from different regions offer unique flavors and traits. These variations are influenced by the local environment, processing methods, and genetic subspecies. Characteristics like flavor (often described as "citrus-like" or "earthy"), caffeine content, body, and acidity differ based on these factors.
Renowned Arabica Coffees
Here are some of the most well-known arabica coffee varieties:
- Colombian: Introduced in the early 1800s, Colombian coffee features cultivars like Maragogype, Caturra, Typica, and Bourbon. Freshly roasted, it boasts bright acidity, a heavy body, and intense aroma. Colombia accounts for about 12% of the world's coffee production, second only to Brazil.
- Colombian Milds: This category includes washed arabicas from Colombia, Kenya, and Tanzania.
- Costa Rican Tarrazu: Grown in the highlands outside San José, with La Minita as a prime estate coffee.
- Guatemala Huehuetenango: Cultivated at over 5,000 feet in one of Guatemala’s most remote areas.
- Ethiopian Coffees:
- Harrar: From the Harar region.
- Yirgacheffe: Grown in Yirga Cheffe, within the Sidamo (now Oromia) region.
- Hawaiian Kona: Sourced from the slopes of Hualalai in the Kona District on Hawaii’s Big Island.
- Jamaican Blue Mountain: From Jamaica's Blue Mountain region, this coffee is highly sought after and expensive.
- Java: From the Indonesian island of Java, the name became synonymous with coffee.
High-Demand Varieties
Certain coffee beans, like Jamaican Blue Mountain and Hawaiian Kona, are so sought after that they command higher prices. Often, these beans are blended with less costly varieties, labeled as "Blue Mountain blend" or "Kona blend," despite containing only a small amount of the premium beans.
Exotic Varieties
One unusual and expensive robusta variety is Indonesian Kopi Luwak and Philippine Kape Alamid. These are collected from the droppings of the Common Palm Civet, whose digestive process imparts a distinctive flavor to the beans.
Coffee is a vast and diverse world, offering endless exploration through its flavors and origins, continually captivating enthusiasts worldwide.
