It used to be that we had very little choice when it came to coffee varieties. Basically, you could choose regular or instant, with only a few brands of each available. In the last decade, however, coffee lovers around the world have been delighted by the increase in varieties available. These days, it's not unusual to find multiple varieties of coffee with more brands than you ever thought possible.
Today, some of the most popular varieties of coffee hail from different regions around the globe and each one has its devoted fans who believe it to be the best. The varieties are determined by the region in which they are grown and the length of time the beans are roasted.
One of the most popular varieties today is Kona coffee, which is made from beans grown in Hawaii. This coffee is generally an aromatic medium blend, with a hint of sweetness. For those who prefer their coffee to be a dark blend with a much stronger flavor, the coffee made from beans grown on the island of Sumatra is a favorite of many. A more exotic choice is coffee made from the Tanzanian Peaberry, which grows on the southern slope of Mt. Kilimanjaro. This particular coffee features a light body and a high level of acidity. Of course, no description of coffee varieties would be complete without mentioning Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. One of the most sought-after and expensive coffees in the world, it is made from beans grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. This coffee is renowned for its smooth flavor and low acidity levels.
Regardless of your personal preference, today it is easier than ever to find just the right variety of coffee to suit your taste buds.
