Coffea arabica, known as Arabica coffee, accounts for 75-80 percent of the world's production. Coffea canephora, known as Robusta coffee, accounts for about 20 percent and differs from the Arabica coffee in terms of taste. While Robusta coffee beans are more robust than the Arabica plants, but produce an inferior tasting beverage with higher caffeine content.
There are three main varieties of coffee accepted as commercial coffees though there are many hundreds of sub-varieties grown world wide.
1. Arabica Coffee
2. Robusta Coffee
3. Liberica Coffee
Liberica coffee, is the last important of the three varieties. It is hardy and resists disease well but cannot tolerate drought or neglect. The quantity of coffee produced from these species is in fact negligible.
