Liberica

About

Liberica coffee is renowned for its distinctive flavor profile, which includes earthy and woody notes, complemented by floral hints and undertones of chocolate, nuts, and spices. Native to West Africa, it is now primarily grown in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines and Malaysia. The Liberica coffee plant is notable for its tall stature, reaching up to 20 meters, and its robustness against diseases, making it a resilient choice for challenging climates. Liberica coffee beans are larger and irregularly shaped compared to Arabica and Robusta. They have a higher sugar content, which contributes to their unique taste but also makes processing more challenging. The flavor profile is often described as bold and full-bodied, with smoky and fruity notes. Despite its lower caffeine content, Liberica coffee is prized for its unique sensory experience and is gaining popularity among coffee enthusiasts seeking diverse flavors. Its rarity and limited availability contribute to its premium pricing in the market.
