Typica coffee introduction + editor’s explanation☕️🍋🌿

Typica is the oldest and most indigenous variety of Arabica coffee, considered a classic example of specialty coffee. Its cultivation history is rich, particularly since its introduction to Asia and the Americas in the 18th century, where it has become the foundation for many high-quality coffees. Typica trees boast tall, bronze-colored leaves, and oval beans. Their distinct, layered flavor often offers a refreshing citric acidity with a sweet aftertaste, making them ideal for coffee lovers seeking a delicate, mellow flavor. 🌱☕️

Typica coffee variety characteristics

• Appearance : The leaves are bronze in color, the beans are long and thin, the fruit matures over a long period of time, and the growth cycle is generally about two years.

• Flavor : Typical Typica coffee has a distinct and clean lemony sweet and sour flavor, a soft and sweet taste, and a long aftertaste.

• Cultivation environment : Suitable for planting at medium and high altitudes. The tree is tall but has weak disease resistance and low yield, so planting is more particular.

Taste experience

Typica coffee emphasizes layered texture and a clean taste, with bright and balanced acidity and a sweet aroma often reminiscent of citrus fruits. Compared to other varieties, Typica is less bitter and more suitable for those who prefer a smoother and more delicate coffee.

Sharing from the editor's perspective

As a coffee lover, I fell in love with Typica at first sight. Its fruity aromas and pleasant acidity create a light yet rich experience, making it perfect for Hong Kong's hot summers and often humid weather. While Typica's low resistance to disease and high price point are a bit high, the quality is definitely worth the price.

If you enjoy coffee with floral, fruity notes and a citric acidity, try Typica. Using a lighter roast maximizes its aroma and acidity, and it's even better with the popular cold brew or pour-over methods favored by Hong Kongers.

Typica coffee, with its pure, smooth, and elegant sweetness and acidity, has become a classic in the world of specialty coffee and holds a special place in Hong Kong's specialty coffee culture. Once you've tried Typica, you'll be captivated by its elegance and charm, savoring every moment of your life. ☕️🍋✨
