There\u2019s endless discussion in the specialty world about the seemingly countless variables that makes individual coffees taste different from one another. Is it the processing method? The soil quality and structure? Sun exposure? Amount of rain?<\/div>\n

Varieties are one of the \u201cvariables\u201d categories that we\u2019ve been interested in exploring, and since we love being helpful we set out to create a few easy reference materials about coffee variety information. After years of gathering information, doing lots of reading and research, and sorting through heaps of photos and producer testimonies, we\u2019ve been able to put together a few handy guides for other variety nerds out there: A Coffee Variety Glossary<\/strong><\/a> featuring descriptions of the historical and parental lineage of 106 different Arabica types, including photos of over 40 coffee types (and counting), just waiting for you to practice your identification skills on.<\/div>\n

Our green-coffee buyers travel the world almost constantly, meeting producers and visiting farms: Occasionally they will spot an unusual or curious-looking plant in a field and ask what variety it is, eager to collect a \u201cnew\u201d sample or example for our reference. It\u2019s kind of like geocaching\u2014but with caffeine. We\u2019ve created these drill-downs into the genetics of different types of coffee plants to help us understand common characteristics and \u201cwhat to expect\u201d from sub-species of coffee from around the world, and we\u2019re always pleased to share what we learn with our customers and other coffee people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

(By the way, in case you\u2019re wondering whether you\u2019re a variety nerd: If you habitually correct other people\u2019s misuse of \u201cvarietal,\u201d you carefully distinguish between cultivars and heirlooms, and you know whether Bourbon new growth is bright green or olive-colored\u2026 well, we have news for you.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
