Arabica coffee beans have always held a core position in both commercial and specialty coffee thanks to their outstanding aroma and acidity. Their cultivation span stretches across multiple producing regions in South America, Central America, Africa, and Asia. Tracing their history, they were first used as medicine by Islamic monks, and only in the 13th century did the practice of roasting them for drinking develop. After spreading to Europe via the Arab world in the 16th century, they gradually became popular worldwide. Arabica coffee began spreading around the world from the mid-18th century, and most existing varieties originate from Typica, evolving into distinctive new varieties as they adapted to different climates and terroirs. In the 19th century, a large-scale outbreak of leaf rust caused massive coffee tree deaths, prompting breeders in the mid-20th century to begin developing disease- and pest-resistant varieties. Today, the Arabica family has more than a hundred varieties. Altitude has a significant impact on flavor, and this article will also introduce seven daily-drinker beans from key producing regions selected by Front Street Coffee. [more…]
