Typica variety

The Typica variety is an absolute classic and one of the two foundational botanical varieties of Arabica coffee, alongside Bourbon. In a brewed cup of this specialty coffee, you can look forward to a beautifully clean and balanced taste with a crisp, citrus acidity and gentle, sweet tasting notes. For farmers on the plantations, however, it is a demanding crop to manage because the tall trees produce relatively low yields and are highly susceptible to various plant diseases. This historic variety has a fascinating legacy of global travel, as a single Typica plant stolen from a Parisian greenhouse eventually became the genetic ancestor of nearly all coffee crops across Latin America.
