On this day, I pondered about what are the kinds of coffee
beans that are out in the commercial and thought that it is a good topic to
post. So I researched and here it is! There are currently 73 types of coffee
beans, but only three (3) types of these coffee beans have commercial
significance in the global market. These are Liberica, Robusta and Arabica.

1.) Liberica
– This is the type of coffee beans that are commercially available here in the
Philippines. In the province of Batangas where these coffee beans are known as “Kapeng Barako” are naturally grown and
have a good market. Of course there are other types too that can be found in
the province of Benguet and other places but, this is the most famous native
type of coffee here. They are known to have distinct aroma and a strong taste.
That’s why it is called Barako, it is
strong and it has this aroma that you couldn’t resist. I would rather choose one
of these instead of having a coffee made from Arabica beans. This bean has a
lot of potential; it only needs some good attention and market. If you want to
try one of these, don’t hesitate to contact us at agreenearth4you@yahoo.com. We’ll even
teach you on how you’ll cook these wonderful beans, the Filipino way!
2.) Robusta
– This type of coffee is common in the United States and Europe. These also
taste good but its quality is low-grade compared to Arabica. It is commonly
used in espresso and I think Starbucks also use these beans on some of their
goods. Robusta’s pride relies on its body; it is its greatest attribute. Studies
show that Robusta’s caffeine content exceeds twice the amount of caffeine
content of Arabica making it a good substitute for those who wants more
caffeine. With these, it became popular and became a world commodity. By the
way, caffeine is a compound found in all of these beans that is responsible in making
you active and alert. This gives you the extra push when you are sleepy.
3.) Arabica
– The world’s famous coffee bean! Its fame reflects on its price, it is pricey
compared to other types of bean but it is worth it. Like Robusta, it is used in
beverages and is known to originate in present day Ethiopia. These are commonly
hand picked due to the fact that they are commonly found in areas such as
mountainous lands where machine cannot go. Arabica have subtypes, Bourbon, Typica
and Caturra, It is said that Bourbon contains the best quality and considered
as the world’s finest bean! When compared to the other two mentioned above,
these types of coffee beans contain the smallest amount of caffeine but are
said to have the most desirable flavour. Well for me, we all have different
taste buds; we only need to look for something that really suits our
personality.
