TYPES OF COFFEE BEANS

The seeds of the coffee plant produce the delicious beverage we know and love. Coffee beans are found in the coffee cherry, which is located inside the fruit of the coffee plant. To bring out the aroma and flavor of the beans, they are extracted from cherries and roasted. 

1. Arabica: Arabica beans are thought to be the highest quality coffee beans and are grown at high elevations in nations like Colombia, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Arabica beans are separated from the cherry and then roasted to bring out their flavor and aroma. They have a smooth and complex flavor with hints of fruit and chocolate.

2. Robusta: Robusta beans are lesser-quality beans with a more bitter and earthy flavor that are grown at lower elevations. They are frequently utilized in coffee blends and instant drinks.

3. Bourbon: The Arabica bean variety known as "Bourbon beans" was named for the former island of Bourbon, now known as Réunion. They taste fresh and sweet with hints of vanilla and caramel.
