Jamaican Coffee Coffea Plant Species
Reggie's Roast Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee has been producing
premium coffee for over a decade now. Originally the company's roots can be traced back to St. Thomas, an area of the Jamaican Blue Mountains. Since then, Reggie's Roast has brought their
gourmet coffee to the United States, even having its
coffee roasters located in Linden, New Jersey; where the
best coffee beans are created. Some popular types of Reggie's Roast Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee include Rasta, Blue Jam, Panama Blue, and Peaberry. The process behind creating blue mountain
coffee is very specific. It all begins with farming and the coffee plants. What are the different varieties of coffee plants?
The Coffea plant offers multiple varieties of coffee species. The two most common species are Coffea Arabica and Coffea Robusta. It is believed that Arabica is the first species of coffee to be cultivated. Currently, this species provides for about three-fourths of the worlds coffee production. Arabica is produced mainly in high altitudes and grows in warm weather areas of the world. Typically the Arabica coffee plant can grow up to ten meters. Compared to Rubusta, Arabica contains far less caffeine. The flavor can be described as slightly acidic, sweet, and fragrant. All in all, Arabica coffee plants have been helping companies like Reggie's Roast produce gourmet coffee for ages.
Coffea Robusta has a number of differences when compared to Coffea Arabica. First, Robusta is produced in lower altitudes than Arabica. It can also withstand more intense climates such as rainforests where Arabica would not survive. This partially contributes the difference in taste. The more extreme environments that Robusta is harvested in will add a more bitter taste to the coffee. The final factor that affects the flavor is the higher content of caffeine that Robusta contains. All of these factors are what differentiates the two Coffea species, making them each produce unique premium coffee.
Different species of Coffea plants have been helping Reggie's Roast Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee create gourmet coffee since the early 1990's, ultimately enabling the company to produce the best coffee beans. Distinctive blends and flavors of coffee could not be created without unique coffee plant species like Arabica and Robusta. Jamaican Coffee providers, such as Reggie's Roast, use a variety of coffee plants depending on the specific taste and flavor they want. The two species discussed are amongst the most popular of coffee plants but are not the only two. Other species can provide many other flavors. Reggie's Roast will continue to utilize these species of coffee plants in order to provide their premium coffee.

We know Conservatives hate french fries, they love freedom fries LOL But how do they feel about coffee?
The coffee plant (Coffea arabica) is native to Ethiopia (previously Abyssinia); coffee was first written about by the Arabian physician Rhazes; coffee plants were first cultivated in Yemen (previously Arabia Felix); it was first drunk extensively by the Muslim dervishes in Arden and was first roasted in Turkey - is it any wonder then, that the origin of the word coffee would have its roots in the Arabic language.
'Qahwah' is the Arabic term for the coffee drink, and while scholars dissagree on the exact link that led to the English word "coffee", there is no doubt that it was an Arabic word with some connection to 'Qahwah'.
Yemen
The term coffee found its way into European languages in about the 1600's, most probably from the Italian term "caffe" which was derived from the Turkish pronunciation "kahveh" of the Arabic 'qahwah'. Moreover, it should be noted that, these terms represent the drink made from the infusion of coffee beans, rather than the name of the coffee cherry fruit or the plant itself.
Qahwa/Al-Qahwa was a Yemen term used in the 14th century which was commonly applied to the beverage that was made by boiling the fruit of the coffea arabica plant. Prior to coffee consumption the word "qahwa" was in common use and denoted the idea of making something repugnant or lessening one?s desire for something. Some medieval Arab lexicographers also gave "qahwa" the meaning of wine or dark stuff.
