Typica

Typica is a cultivated tall variety of Arabica coffee that originated from Yemen to Java and began to spread on the island of Java in the early 18th century.

The oldest native variety in Ethiopia, all Arabica is derived from Typica. Typica has bronze top leaves and oval or thin pointed beans; it has an elegant flavor, but is weak, has poor disease resistance, and produces less fruit. Jamaican Blue Mountain, Sumatra Mandheling, Hawaiian Kona and other excellent estate beans are all Typica.

The plant was very similar to what we call Java today, with bronze-tipped leaves, large fruit and seeds, very low yields, and susceptible to all major pests and diseases.
