Traditional Varieties in Latin America

Caravela's Coffee Talks

In this episode we look at the traditional varieties that we most commonly work with at Caravela. The traditional varieties found all over Latin America can all be traced back to either Typica or Bourbon.

To understand some of the terminology and to help us tell the story, we speak with research technician for World Coffee Research: Julio Alvarado.
