From sun-drenched plantations to your favorite mug โ every coffee bean tells a story. Harvesting coffee is an art, a rhythm passed down through generations. The hands that pluck the ripe red cherries know exactly when theyโre perfect. This isnโt just farming โ itโs a soulful craft that starts the journey of your perfect cup.
Each bean is hand-selected at the peak of ripeness. This traditional method ensures that only the best beans make it into the roast. Itโs a slow, patient process โ but one that guarantees rich aroma and flavor.
After harvesting, beans are laid out under the golden sun on raised beds. This natural drying process locks in the earthy tones and smooth finish coffee lovers crave. You can literally taste the sunshine in every sip.
Once dried, beans are carefully sorted by hand and machine. The best beans are separated, graded, and prepared for roasting โ ensuring consistent taste and world-class quality in every bag.
Arabica coffee beans are the most popular beans in the world, and there is evidence of Arabica plant growth over 3,000 years ago. Arabica beans are larger, sweeter, and more expensive than their prime competition, the Robusta. The added expense is because Arabica beans are harder to grow, needing more water, shade, and higher altitudes than the Robusta.
Robusta beans make up almost 40% of worldwide exports, and are grown in many of the same areas as Arabica beans to include much of Africa, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Their origin of Robusta beans is African. Robusta beans have a lower acidity than Arabica making them less sweet and the type most often used in espresso and in instant coffee. Robusta beans have almost double the caffeine content of Arabica beans and are known for a stronger and more bitter taste and smell..
Liberica beans are native to Western Africa and primarily Liberia for which the beans are named. These beans are unusual in that they are tolerant of heat and grow well at low altitudes. Today Liberica beans are grown mostly in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. While they only tally 2% of world production, they represent 95% of the beans grown in Malaysia. The taste of these beans is known to be rather inconsistent which limits worldwide popularity.
Bourbon beans were produced by a natural mutation of Typica beans found on the Island of Bourbon. The beans were discovered by the French and spread across Africa and South America where the French had colonies. Bourbon beans are known for their sweet taste with a hint of caramel. You can find bourbon beans on Amazon and at some specialty shops. Just be careful not to confuse them with bourbon barrel beans that have become available lately.
Catimor beans are a hybrid between Caturra & Timor beans which is where their unique name comes from. They were developed in Portugal in 1959 in an attempt to produce a disease-resistant coffee plant. The plants grow quickly with large yields encouraging cultivation, but are also known for being somewhat sour and astringent, limiting their sales. .
You may also find these beans spelled Gesha when you search for them. They originated in Gesha Ethiopia in the 1950s, and had a renaissance in the first years of the 21st Century. Today they are grown in Panama, Columbia, Costa Rica, and Peru and are some of the most expensive coffee beans you can buy. You can assume they make a great cup of coffee, but their expense is also due to the specific conditions required to grow the best beans coupled with the worldwide demand and willingness to pay for the highest quality coffee. You can find Geisha Coffee Beans in international markets and online..
