Everything You Need to Know About Arabica Coffee
Coffee arabica (known scientifically with an ‘a’ instead of an ‘e’ – Coffea Arabica) is known for its complex flavours.
This type of coffee comes from the beans of the coffee arabica plant. This plant is usually found in subtropical climates with temperatures that range between 15 and 24 degrees Celsius.
Did you know that Arabica coffee has less caffeine compared to other types of coffee? Arabica coffee accounts for around 60% of the world's coffee production and is one of the earliest-produced coffee species!
There are different types of Arabica coffee beans, which include:
- Typica
- Bourbon
- Jackson
- Caturra
Most coffee beans pollinate from external factors, whereas Arabica coffee pollinates itself, which means that they are constantly passing down the same genes, therefore improving the bean's quality.
Studies have shown that caffeine can help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and diseases, such as dementia and Alzheimer's.
Like all coffee beans, Arabica beans are rich in antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory effects and contain vitamin E, magnesium, potassium and vitamin B.
