Coffee, What is it and it's Origin?

What is actually this dark liquid? Some even call it the dark gold. Well actually it comes from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant and these seeds are also known as coffee beans.

The origin of coffee is a subject of debate. Some said it originated from Africa and the the Arabs discovered and planted it. Much later the Europeans come to know about it and through the efforts of Dutch and French companies in the past, it became well known world wide.

Despite the endless varieties of coffee found in cafes, there are actually only two main types. These are Arabica and Robusta. Arabica beans have a finer flavor, while the robusta is more bitter and have a higher caffeine content. In term of price, robusta are cheaper.This has led to its use as an inexpensive substitute for Arabica in many coffee blends commercially.

On the other hand Arabica coffees are still grown and were traditionally named by the port they were exported from, the two oldest being Mocha, from Yemen, and Java, from Indonesia. Nowadays, from the labels you can get more details about the coffee beans. Details like the country of origin, the region, and sometimes even the producing estate.
