Characteristics of Typica coffee:
Typica coffee is one of two types of C.Arabira coffee that are genetically important. The Typica tree has a tall trunk, small branches growing in a cone shape. The leaves are dark yellow, the fruit is long and oval with an attractive red color when ripe. This variety is cold-resistant, so it is often favored to grow in high mountains above 1500m such as Blue Mountain. In addition, they have unique genetic characteristics with low caffeine content and very high malic acid content. The bright acidity combined with the mild sweetness in the beans makes the Typica flavor extremely attractive. Because of this, in the coffee world, Typica was once considered the gold standard for all measures of coffee quality.
