Varieties by countries
The two great species of coffee that occur in the world are arabica and robusta, each one of them with unique characteristics. The sweeter and more aromatic Arabica coffee (also more expensive) grows in highlands located between 800 and 2,000 meters of altitude, with temperatures between 15oC and 25oC, and represents 75 percent of all world production.
The robusta, for its part, is more bitter, with more body and richer in caffeine. In addition, it grows close to sea level, at an altitude of 800 meters, with temperatures between 25oC and 30oC and always with direct sunlight on the plantations. From both species, dozens of varieties arise that adapt to the characteristics of each country.
