Discovery - A goat herder discovered coffee in the 1500s. When his goats ate coffee cherries, he observed the goats got a lot of energy and couldn't sleep at night.
What is it - Coffee is a fruit and the coffee bean is a seed! They grow on the flowering bushes, therefore coffee ultimately is fruit production
Types - Arabica and Robusta
Arabica - Originated from Ethiopia and came to the limelight in the region Arabica Peninsula where it was cultivated to be known as Arabica Coffee now. Forms 60% of worlds coffee production.
High quality arabica coffee should have a slightly sweet flavor, with hints of chocolate, nuts, and caramel. You may also notice hints for fruit and berries. There will be a slight/pleasant acidity, and a little bitterness. Cold brewing coffee can help bring out the sweet flavors of arabica even more.
Likes to be grown in hilly regions at around 1900+ feet and likes humidity
Robusta - Your choice if looking for a caffeine punch, it has twice the amount of caffeine what Arabica has.
Has its origins in central and western sub-Saharan Africa.
Lower Lipid & Sugar content than Arabica and hence tastes a bit bitter. Robusta coffee tastes earthy and is often said to have a bitter, rubbery/grain-like flavor, with a peanutty aftertaste.
Most of the instant coffee and espresso blends use Robusta beans.
Bean identification - Robusta beans are more circular and Arabica are oval in shape
