Typica is a variety of the Arabica coffee plant, known for its smooth and balanced flavor profile. It is one of the oldest coffee cultivars and is highly regarded for its sweetness and mild acidity. This variety is often grown in high-altitude regions, which contributes to its unique taste characteristics. Originally from Ethiopia, Typica has spread to various coffee-growing regions around the world, including Central America and Indonesia. It serves as a parent variety for many other coffee cultivars, influencing the development of hybrids that aim to enhance yield and disease resistance while maintaining quality.
