This video is amazing. Thank you Ethiopia for coffee. I am a proud Honduran and coffee consœur about to start our own coffee farm with my husband. Honduran coffee is extremely good, but you have to know WHERE in Honduras. Pay attention to attitude and latitude to get the best. Lots of people say Copan, personally, it is too weak (altitude). I prefer Santa Barbara and Marcala. El Salvador and Colombia also have exceptional coffee. Colombia winning my heart over these two. Vietnam, Indonesia, and Ethiopia are also favorites of mine. In Europe, Greece, France, and Italy were not that bad. Turkey and and some other Middle Eastern countries can have good spiced coffee. Adding some notes of cardamom, saffron, etc. It is a different experience for sure. I adore coffee, as a Hispanic, we drink coffee since we're children. It was such a blessing to find a foreign husband with such a passion for coffee as well (and out of the two, he brews it the best❤). Such and informative video. It should be shared with more people.
Talking about interspecific hybrids, we have the Devamachy hybrid in India which is also a natural hybrid and we have even crossed canephora x arabica with backcross to arabica and achieved arabica quality with good resistance to leaf rust. It is released for cultivation as Selection 6 in India.
FAO organized a Botanical expedition to Ethiopia in 1960's and the participating scientists including one from CCRI India made collection of wild arabica germplasm and planted at different centers including CCRI. Many of the collections like Geisha, S 12 Kaffa , Tafarikela, Cioccie, Agaro have been used in our coffee breeding programs in India with success.
The geisha variety from Panama was sourced from the CATIE, in Costa Rica before the 1950s. CATIE holds a bank of coffee (and cacao) for the preservation of this crop.
When you mentioned that there are THOUSANDS of coffee varieties, what are the four categories I've heard you delineate: Arabica, Robusta, Liberica and Excelsia - are those only four among the thousands?

Brilliant video! As everyone has mentioned, really informative, concise and well put together. It's pretty difficult to find information on the phenotypic characteristics of the plants themselves. Thanks!

A little bit correction about ateng variety from Indonesia. Ateng actually doesn't referred to the most famous comedian around 1970s in Indonesia, but it's actually referred to the area where it grows which is ATENG, the abbreviation for Aceh TENGah.. Or middle Aceh. Aceh is the province that well known for Gayo Coffee
