A snippet:
"Coffee variety (often referred to as “varietal” or “cultivar”) refers to a cultivated coffee plant that, when propagated, maintains specific characteristics both in plant morphology (size, shape, etc.) and in flavor characteristics of the end product.
"There seems to be great confusion regarding varietal vs. species. Without going into an extended explanation, species is a broader taxonomic category that refers to coffee varieties that are capable of cross breeding with one another. There are MANY species of coffee - we know of at least 100 documented species. The two most commonly cultivated species are Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora (usually referred to by “robusta”, its most common variety). Below is a brief list of other species:
- Coffea liberica
- Coffea kapakata
- Coffea congenesis
- Coffea racemosa
- Coffea excelsa
- Coffea bengalenesis"
If there's anything anyone wants to see or have us research, let us know.
