It originated in the southwestern highlands of Ethiopia and is the most popular kind of coffee worldwide – making up 60% or more of coffee production in the world. It's called Arabica coffee because in the 7th century the beans went from Ethiopia to lower Arabia. In Ethiopia, the beans were being crushed and mixed with fat to be eaten as a stimulant by the Oromo tribe. But once they arrived in Arabia “coffee” was born.  It was written about as a brewed beverage for the first time by Arab scholars who said it helped them prolong their work hours. From there coffee spread around the world. If coffee beans were brewed into a delicious beverage for the first time in Arabia, it's easy to see why it's called Arabica coffee, and why it's also known as Arabian coffee.  High quality Arabica coffee should have a slightly sweet flavor, with hints of chocolate, nuts, and caramel. You may also notice hints for fruit and berries. There will be a slight/pleasant acidity, and a little bitterness. Cold brewing coffee can help bring out the sweet flavors of arabica even more. The roast you choose will affect the degree to which you notice the flavors.  Storing coffee beans properly so they stay nice and fresh is a great way to help preserve those yummy flavor notes.
