„Caturra. A relatively recently selected botanical variety of the Coffea arabica species that generally matures more quickly, produces more coffee, and is more disease resistant than older, traditional arabica varieties.

„Brewing methods are the means to enjoying our beguiling brews–the artistic side of Coffea arabica and Camellia sinensis. Certainly, we're all familiar with the craft of pulling shots from a gleaming espresso machine or dropping loose tea leaves into a decorative infuser, but remember: Brewing coffee and tea was an art in its own right far before the invention of espresso machines and fancy infusers. Take the Ethiopian coffee ceremony–a ritualistic ode to coffee born long before the idea of brewing coffee even entered into the consciousness of much of the world.“

„In all seriousness, Craig is correct. If you google it, you can read up on the history to learn how some of the varietals of coffea arabica were developed.
