The most common being Bourbon, Typica, Catuai, and Caturra but also including:</p> <p>Catimor, Colombia, Ethiopian Heirloom, Gesha, Jember, Pacamara, SL28, SL34, Tekisic, Villa Sarchi, Villalobos, Pache comum, Pache colis, Kent, Mundo Novo, Maragogype, Amarello, Blue Mountain, Ethiopian Harar, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Hawaiian Kona.</p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/coffee-642773_960_72099272.jpg" width="960" height="642"/></p> <p><br></p> <p>If you’ve ever tried an Ethiopian bean lightly roasted to preserve the sugars and brightness, you may have experienced tastes that can be characterized as blueberry, apricot, burgundy wine, or citrus. More akin to a tea than the carbon black pitch brew served at your local Starbucks.</p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/picking-1538233_960_72089cd4.jpg" width="960" height="635"/></p> <p><br></p> <p>When coffee is made from one varietal, it is referred to as Single Origin.</p> <p>Although you can enjoy coffee or even espresso as a Single Origin, varietals are often blended to achieve various characteristics such as sweetness, body, acidity, creaminess, mouthfeel, brightness, or fruitiness. In espresso blends, robusta is often added in small quantities to give it that extra bite and crema.</p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/coffee-241506_960_720089ea.jpg" width="960" height="618"/></p> <p><br></p> <p>Whether blended for purposes of espresso shots, pour over, or espresso milk drinks, coffee artisans often closely guard the recipes for their proprietary commercial blends, like the recipe for Coca Cola!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Part 1: <a href="https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-1">https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-1</a></p> <p>Part 2: <a href="https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-2-roasting">https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-2-roasting</a></p> <p>Part 3: <a href="https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-3-grinding">https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-3-grinding</a></p> <p>Part 4: <a href="https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-4-brewing">https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-4-brewing</a></p> <p>Part 5: <a href="https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-5-water">https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-5-water</a></p> <p>Part 6: <a href="https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-6-espresso">https://steemit.com/coffee/@justinlaak/why-drink-stale-coffee-part-6-espresso</a> </p> <p><br></p> </html>
