Typica
Visão Geral
Typica is the genetic foundation of most commercially grown Arabica, its lineage traced to a single plant carried from Yemen to the Malabar coast of India in the 1600s and onward to the Dutch colony of Java. Yields are low, but the variety is revered for exceptional cup quality: clean and sweet, with an elegant acidity, pronounced floral aromatics and a silky body. Quality is rated excellent across a broad altitude band of roughly 1,000 to 2,000 metres. Set against that quality is a serious agronomic weakness, as Typica is highly susceptible to coffee leaf rust and coffee berry disease and carries low nematode resistance; the 1869 rust epidemic in Sri Lanka destroyed vast Typica plantations. Chemical treatment or shade management is required in rust-prone regions, and countless later cultivars descend directly from it.
