Coffee – Varieties Around The World
There is a wide assortment of coffee and coffee beans around the world. The pleasure is in trying to sample all of them.
Tolima, Columbia is home of the La Esperanza, one of the finest and most well known coffees in the world. Its rich aroma and deep flavor are compliments of it being grown at such high altitudes. The perfect blend of flavors unpredictable for their compatibility makes it a top choice.
Of course, the world's second largest producer has much more to offer. The Supremo makes a complex brew with vanilla notes and hints of semi-sweet chocolate. Be sure to drink hot, as it fades fast.
Hopping over to Hawaii, the hand-picked Kona comes in both medium and dark roast. The latter has a very light acid with the medium making for slightly more. But the espresso roast remains a favorite, where the minimally acidic, dark and strong character really shines.
For those who like the sharp taste in their coffee, the Tanzanian Peaberry found on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa may be the choice for you. This is a very unique bean, not only because of its taste but also its appearance. It is a single oval more acidic than some beans which lends to its sharp flavor. Those who come to climb the famous M. Kilimanjaro can enjoy not only her sights but also her produce.
And while there, take a side jaunt to the legendary home of coffee - Ethiopia. The Yirgacheffe region is home to a citrusy brew that combines ginger, orange peel and lemon that's both tart and chocolaty.
The Jumboors and the Monsoon Malabar are two types of beans found in India. The latter delivers you the sweet flavor of apricot while the former has a raisin flavor as its sweetener. The environment of these beans gives them their uniqueness that must be sampled to be appreciated.
Where can you find a warm soothing coffee that offers the soothing flavor of jasmine with the sweet flavor of cherry? Try the Lake Toba region of Sumatra, Indonesia. The beans grown in this region produce a light brew sharp with flavor.
Before leaving Indonesia satisfy your spicy craving. Head north to the territory where they add a touch of cedar and a bit of citrus to their coffee to make it something divine.
Robusta from Lampung, Vietnam adds to the variety. The method used to prepare these beans gives each cup a strong bite and rivals the sharp flavor of the Arabica blends.
