Landrace
Landrace coffee refers to naturally occurring coffee varieties that have developed in the wild without hybridization or artificial selection. These coffees have been domesticated over time, adapting to local conditions through traditional cultivation methods.
With their natural adaptation to climate, soil, and farming practices, Landrace varieties remain genetically distinct, as they are often isolated from other coffee populations. Ethiopia is especially known for its diverse Landrace varieties, which have evolved over centuries.
The distinct characteristic of Landrace coffee is its high genetic diversity, which boosts adaptability and contributes to a rich, unique flavor profile.
