Variety
Variety is the term used to distinguish groups of cultivated plants within the same species, based on a set of unique and uniform identifiable characteristics.
A variety’s characteristics are a combination of factors such as morphology (height, leaf/fruit shape), growth habits (yield, disease resistance), and quality potential (flavor).
Variety is a key factor that directly impacts coffee flavor. For example, the Gesha variety is famous for its delicate floral notes, while the Pacamara variety (a cross between Pacas and Maragogipe) is impressive for its large bean size and complex flavor.
