The geisha variety from Panama was sourced from the CATIE, in Costa Rica before the 1950s. CATIE holds a bank of coffee (and cacao) for the preservation of this crop.

Thank Ethiopia and Africa for your coffee!!!

I think it’s cool that mankind and coffee got its start in the same territory. Just stand to reason why man loves his Coffee.

After drinking black coffee for the past 45 years, my favorite is definitely Ethiopian Mocha Harrar.

Great video. He packs a TON of historical info in a very short time. It felt like I was cramming for an exam.

Thanks for the video, I have been educated by it. I live in Honduras and I am proud of having tried many of these varieties first hand! Am I one lucky guy!

This video is amazing. Thank you Ethiopia for coffee. I am a proud Honduran and coffee consœur about to start our own coffee farm with my husband. Honduran coffee is extremely good, but you have to know WHERE in Honduras. Pay attention to attitude and latitude to get the best. Lots of people say Copan, personally, it is too weak (altitude). I prefer Santa Barbara and Marcala. El Salvador and Colombia also have exceptional coffee. Colombia winning my heart over these two. Vietnam, Indonesia, and Ethiopia are also favorites of mine. In Europe, Greece, France, and Italy were not that bad. Turkey and and some other Middle Eastern countries can have good spiced coffee. Adding some notes of cardamom, saffron, etc. It is a different experience for sure. I adore coffee, as a Hispanic, we drink coffee since we're children. It was such a blessing to find a foreign husband with such a passion for coffee as well (and out of the two, he brews it the best❤). Such and informative video. It should be shared with more people.

Can we get this guy on MasterClass please ☕️

first I want to thank you for the video Being from Yemen and watching the video describing the map of Coffee roots and how it spread out of Yemen "Typica", I just want to mention that Mocha Is a name of a city port in the red sea where Yemeni Coffee from different areas in Yemen were shipped to Turkey and the travel from Yemen to South-east Asia was for one type of Yemeni mutant gen of multiple types all from the Ethiopian one, yet it spread around Yemen and with time developed it's own characteristics " farming in high and dry altitude starting from 800 meters over the sea level and above to 2300 meters " there are about 10 different types of Yemeni Coffee and they are magnificent in comparison to taste, tree production and quality. now that I'm out of Yemen in Djibouti I start to see and note those differences in taste bean shape and the incredible diversity of the Ethiopian Coffee in comparison, yet the Yemeni coffee still mange's to be distinguished for powerful small beans and taste. I acknowledge that most Yemeni farmers stopped cultivating Coffee and planted Qat "another tree coming from Ethiopia" yet some old farms still have it and working in Coffee plantation around Yemen and I hope soon after the war in the country stop's people will come gradually to plant Yemeni Coffee again now that we have a formal concept of "Speciality Coffee ". My friend Mr. Hussein Ahmed has started a company called Mocha Coffee Hunters and he is doing a great job with the Yemeni farmers in terms of farming education and production. Peace

As a newbie to the coffee world, I find this video clear, logical and engaging. It definitely deepened my understanding. Personally I like it way better than the Asher Yaron TED Talk, since the latter is more subjective and desperately need more supporting evidence. I would love to see more videos like this one being posted!

I love that coffee grew up like two blocks from humanity! I have a newfound fondness for my morning cup. (hey there neighbor). I also found this video hours after deciding etheopian yirgacheffe is my favorite coffee, at least for now! Seriously its so good, go get some.

Notice: The first written record of coffee made from roasted coffee beans (botanical seeds) comes from Arab scholars, who wrote that it was useful in prolonging their working hours. The Arab innovation in Yemen of making a brew from roasted beans, spread first among the Egyptians and Turks, and later on found its way around the world. Other scholars believe that the coffee plant was introduced from Yemen, based on a Yemeni traditional.

i dream of one day going to ethiopia and kenya to see different coffee producers, yirgacheffe was my first coffee that blew me away and those two countries have since become my favorite origins

I am writing a report on coffee for publication and found this to be of very much help understanding the base foundation of coffee. Thank you for putting this together.

I want like this video twice ,... perfect for real coffee lovers...

I have some coffe plants here in the Philippines. I think these are robusta varieties. When they start to flower the surrounding air really smells nice. The flowers are so fragrant.

I trade in coffee, both green and roasted, I have been at it for 2 years now and Ethiopia coffee leads the pack.

Thank you, is very educational, I have always loved coffee as a child born in Cuba as I get older I EXPLORE.

Thank you so very much for being clear. I really enjoyed listening to you as a coffee lover. Bless you!!

Thank you. This kind of information is rarely available for free. Educational, and I couldn't track the time, awesome!

Who would dislike this? this is amazing!

That was fascinating hearing about the history of coffee as well as it’s varieties..Most people I think ,don’t realy think of this until they are made aware of the different varieties and characteristics such as sweet note,citrus,spice etc.The whole coffee experience changes when you understand this.So even if you arn’t a coffee fenatic you develop a better appreciation for good coffee and flavor.

Probably one of the most informative and educational piece of resource I have ever come across on KZfaq based on coffee. It seems to me that history has yet to be recorded with where coffee has taken a firm step, but nevertheless in our day and age we can easily say that we have experienced one of the most asserted and pleasant flavours with regards to this cherry grown in different areas of the continents. I do however (although not much information can be found due to many differing narrations) feel that the beginning of coffee seems to have many conflicting recordings as to where it began and how it travelled so far out from its origins, it would have been great if evidence and dates were provided in relation to the initial growth of coffee in which you touched upon briefly in the beginning of the video. I get that nostalgic feeling of being inside a lecture back at uni (honestly if you just close your eyes and listen to this man's voice), and appreciate greatly the time and effort that was put into this piece of art. It would have been great to do more follow up videos on in-depth reviews of the more typical found coffee rather than the much rarer species. I had no idea what I was expecting when I clicked on this video, once again an amazing intro and very in-depth look at the history of coffee and it's variety. Much appreciated.

Thx so much for this enlighting video. Now, it sort of complicate things even more for me to have a simple cup of coffee yet, it also deepen the experience of a simple cup of coffee.

This video is REALLY cool. I've been to some Geisha Coffee fields here in Panama, really cool experience.

Fascinating and informative video! I just bought 2 Kona Coffee Plants and am doing my due diligence to keep them alive. Now, I have added other varieties to buy!

This is by far the best explanatory and informative presentation on the different varietals of coffee that I have ever seen. The fact that this video had a presentation run time of just less than 30 minutes is a testimony to keeping the info. organized but also not too simple or generalized. Again, awesome coffee presentation.

This is very informative, didn't know there were so many variations of coffee

Interesting. As a newbie in the industry I find this very helpful.

Thanks for making this! I always find it tricky to wrap my head around varieties but this really helped! :)

Awesome that the history behind so many varieties are talked about- it's hard to put into perspective how many there are/were/are to come. I think flavour profiling is a great way to suggest "good" coffee, but whether a certain variety tastes good or not is completely subjective and personal preference! - an example could be like having a favourite colour. Although taste is subjective, I also think it helps to broaden one's perspective through expanding one's palette, to be able to appreciate all of the fine gustatory variations.

Your story telling is amazing. I have read similar content but I could hardly remember anything. You made it very clear and interesting. Thank you very much.

I have tried many coffees in the US and I have tried many coffee traveling to Central, South America and Africa and all those coffee are really bitter and apparently it is because of the type of coffee they have and specially because of the process of getting the final dry coffee bean. The only coffee that was perfect in flavor, smell, bold, rich and not bitter was the Colombian Coffee and I learned why. Colombian coffee has a very precise process where they use clean water, they pick only the best red coffee beans , and most of the coffee plants are Arabica coffee plans. Really the best coffee.( I am not Colombian. Colombia really specialize in producing the best coffee)

This guy explaining is so good at teaching 👍👍

Peter knows his stuff. Great knowledge here...

Very interesting and seemingly comprehensive explanation. Now to figure out how to find the coffees discussed in small quantities for experiencing the varieties.

Good job! very informative, especially on the Typica varieties and their hybrids. I am glad to see the growing interest in quality coffee. It is one of the great pleasures in life. And I am fortunate to have had kick-ass second to none premium coffee grown in its (aboriginal) native earth. To think of the coffee people were drinking only 20 years ago! It delivered the caffeine, but nothing to speak of in terms of flavor and aroma.

This is amazing, I can’t believe i finished listening all, super educational.

Thank you for doing this video. Very informative. Well presented.

Thank you for the video! It is so informative and clear!

Super Informative!! I wish I would have seen this video, years ago- however, I'm very happy that it is still here- and, that I can watch it over and take notes! I love Coffee; and, have learned a lot more about it during this pandemic. Thank You!!

Wow, what an education, thank you so much for this video!

Excellent video! So clear, simple yet deeply educational. Thank you.

Really interesting and informative! Makes you see how much more there is to coffee than just arabica and robusta. Great job !

This video is so ahead of its time

This video is so good I can't believe its free! Thank you so much. Really opens up the world of coffee in 30 mins.

I think with the devastation of coffee plantations due to leaf rust, hemealia vastatrix in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) the cultivations shifted to canoferas and to the new world. In early 18s this island was producing premium arabicas and was the major expoter then.

The imperative mood of the Greek verb for "to pee" is caturra (κατούρα).

Impressive and specifically if compared to Coffee from my home area, the Bugisu Arabica from Mountain Elgon Region. Which means the rout of culture and migrants to Elgon is from Ethiopia. I need some more light and information to whoever can help as African original Cultural and development routes are developed.

This video is a jewel. Great Job. Looking forward for some ethiopian coffee.

This video is very educational.

One of te best youtube videos on the topic!

Great education for us coffee lovers and sales persons. Some I knew but still was able to learn more ....Keep it up Nefertiti Gourmet Coffee, Inc.

Thank you for this helpful information. I enjoyed watching it! شكراً

Fantastic comprehensive video. Thank you so much for this

We are vietnam coffee roaster , thank you for the details variety introduction this is very good video!

Worth watching this video!! I like the information added within this video and the coffee varieties related handy notes are indeed good for experience.

You are a great story teller, very knowledgeable too. Could you perhaps share what sources I could read to learn more about the categorization of coffee and its history? I find bits and pieces around the web but it's difficult to connect the dots to see the bigger picture. You already explained a lot in this video but there's so much more out there. With climate change hitting every corner of the globe, I'm expecting to see real change in the world of coffee and it would be nice to understand where it all came from and where it's going to.

Very helpful video. Well presented. Top notch.

Great video! No hype, coherent exposition, very well done!

Really outstanding discussion/explanation.

Watching reply lodi

Just had a Geisha from the Peterson's Esmeralda in Panama, roasted by the Coffee Collective. One of the best coffees I've ever had, so sweet and balanced.

Thank you for real good info !!!! not much intense content like this out there lol

Best video to describe coffee varieties. Thank you so much

very useful for me

Super interesting video, eye opener for me. Thanks ;-)

Really informative video. I know it is old but still great.

A little bit correction about ateng variety from Indonesia. Ateng actually doesn't referred to the most famous comedian around 1970s in Indonesia, but it's actually referred to the area where it grows which is ATENG, the abbreviation for Aceh TENGah.. Or middle Aceh. Aceh is the province that well known for Gayo Coffee

Great video, thanks. San Ramon variety is from Costa Rica not Guatemala just to correct that specific point.

Thanks far sharing valuable video...

Mind Blown!

We need to protect this video

thanks very much and very helpful too. God Bless you

Tank you for teaching us! 👏🙏

For several years, I bought coffee "seed" through the mail, and it never sprouted. Finally located some tiny plants at a Lowes' store and in later years they fruited. In sowing the red berries directly in the soil, they sprouted and grew dependably. Be fun to have some red berries of the best varieties available for purchase by us plant people.

cây cà phê rõ ràng là 1 cây rất đặc biệt

ATENG is stand from Aceh Tengah (midle Aceh) where Gayo plateu (famous coffee plantation) located not name of commedian is just accidental same name Ateng variety also known as ateng jaluk

Thanks, a free master class

Thanks that's mighty helpful,thanks brother!!!

Полезная информация!!!

Pluma hidalgo Isn't the name we use for typica in México, It Is an unique coffee variety from this country. It Is harvest only in the state of Oaxaca.

What an excellent teacher!

FAO organized a Botanical expedition to Ethiopia in 1960's and the participating scientists including one from CCRI India made collection of wild arabica germplasm and planted at different centers including CCRI. Many of the collections like Geisha, S 12 Kaffa , Tafarikela, Cioccie, Agaro have been used in our coffee breeding programs in India with success.

so helpful and informative! Feeling like a coffee connoisseur now...

Thanks for the great explanation!

Great Video Thanks for Sharing!

Durham, NC repping! Best coffee around by far.
