On the word market there is a special classification of all sorts of coffee, which divided them into three big categories. The key factor is a quality of beans.
The first category is Mild. It consists of the best sorts of Arabica coffee – from rare to widely-used. In order to stress their high quality they call this category like «mild high-grown coffee». High-Grown – is a coffee which had been gathered at a height of no less than 500 meters above-sea level. Frequently, location height of coffee plantations is 1000-1500 meters. At the same time coffee berries should be gathered totally ripe and be carefully cultivated.
This category of most qualitative coffee, contrasts sharply with another one – less qualitative, strong and inelegant taste, cheep grains. It called Brazilian coffee.
Such name of the category is conditioned by the fact, that vast Brazilian plantations, located not in mountains but on the plain, give ample quantity of cheep, sometimes careless gathered and cultivated coffee. At the same time such name does not show reality exactly. Brazil also produces perfect sorts, relating to Mild.
The third category consists of the sort called Robust coffee. It does not yield in taste and aroma to varieties of Arabica coffee. Besides, it is richer in caffeine content (about 30-40 %). Robust coffee has its own values – simplicity in vegetations, disease resistance, and what is more principle, cheapness. That is why takes Robust coffee its valid stand on the market.
