In the vast world of coffee, there are many types of coffee beans, each with its own unique flavor and style, which together constitute the complex and fascinating field of coffee. But when we talk about the types of coffee beans, many people may be confused: How many types of coffee beans are there? How are they classified?

The diversity of coffee beans mainly comes from differences in the planting locations, climate, altitude, varieties and processing methods of coffee trees. Globally, coffee beans can be roughly divided into several categories.

1. Classification by Origin

1. African beans : Africa is the origin of coffee. The coffee beans produced here have strong fruit acidity and unique fermented aroma. The beans from Ethiopia Yirgacheffe and Kenya have attracted much attention. They are known for their bright acidity and complex aroma.

2. Asian beans : Coffee beans in Asia are famous for their soft taste and lower acidity. Yunnan coffee beans are very popular in the Chinese market, while Thai Robusta beans are loved for their unique aroma and rich taste.

3. Latin American beans : There are many varieties of coffee beans in Latin America, and they usually have balanced acidity and sweetness. Beans from Colombia and Mexico are popular in the market. Their taste is usually more balanced and is loved by all types of consumers.

2. Classification by species

1. Arabica beans : This is the most important coffee variety in the world, accounting for the vast majority of global production. They usually have a soft taste and clear acidity and are the main choice of most coffee shops.

2. Robusta beans : Robusta beans have a higher caffeine content and a richer taste, sometimes with some nutty and chocolate flavors. They are usually used to make espresso or instant coffee.

In addition, there are many subcategories, such as alpine beans, cat shit beans, etc., each of which has its own unique flavor and characteristics, and the diversity of these categories is only a macro division. Each production area and even each farm has its own unique processing method, which further enriches the types and taste of coffee beans.

Coffee beans from the same origin will have very different tastes if they are roasted in different ways. The impact of roasting on coffee beans is very significant. Different degrees of roasting will bring out different flavor characteristics brought by washed processing and sun-dried processing. This is also the charm of coffee: even the most ordinary coffee beans can show amazing taste through different processing methods and techniques.

When buying coffee beans, we should not only consider the type and origin, but also choose according to our own taste and preferences. People who like strong sour taste may choose beans produced in Africa or lightly roasted beans, while people who like rich taste may choose Robusta beans or deeply roasted beans.
