Growing Conditions for Coffee and Where it's Grown
Arabica Coffee This type of coffee is grown in cool climates between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. The ideal temperature for this coffee to grow is between 15-24°C all year round. The amount of rain falling in the nine month period, (the length of the coffee season), should be around the 200cm range. If there is a large gap with the daytime and night tie temperatures, this benefits the coffee and gives a better taste. Arabica coffee is generally grown in Central and Latin America. Robusta Coffee Robusta coffee is grown exclusively in the eastern hemisphere, mostly in Africa, Vietnam and Indonesia. Robusta coffee beans need a warmer climate, around 22-29°C, compared to the Arabica beans. They grow at lower latitudes and are more resistant to diseases and pests. These beans take about 10-11 months to mature and ripen before they are ready for picking. www.thekitchn.com r=robust m=both a=arabica
A Brief History of Coffee
First Found It is thought that coffee was first found in the early 9th century in Ethiopia, east Africa. It gets its name from the region it was first found and grown in, Kaffa. The natives believed that when the plant was added to water and boiled, it had healing powers to those who drank it. It became well known and its popularity spread fast. According to Ethiopian legend, it was an Abyssinian goatherder, Kaldi, who lived around AD 850, who discovered coffee. He observed his goats prancing excitedly and bleating loudly after chewing the bright red berries that grew on some green bushes nearby. Kaldi tried a few berries himself, and soon felt full of energy. He filled his pockets with the berries and ran home to announce his discovery. Reaches Europe From there, it spread to the neighbouring countries and Yemen and by 1517 it had reached the Turkish city of Constantinople. It then became popular in Europe throughout the Ottoman Empire...
