What is Typica?

• Typica is one of the oldest and most traditional Arabica coffee varietals.
• It originated from coffee plants taken from Yemen centuries ago and spread throughout the Americas and the Caribbean.
• Typica trees tend to produce lower yields, but the beans are prized for their exceptional sweetness, clarity, and clean cup profile.
• Many famous specialty coffees (like Jamaica Blue Mountain and Kona) are primarily Typica.
• Farmers value it for its high quality in taste, though it’s more susceptible to pests and disease compared to newer hybrids.
