commercially into brown, yellow, and pale grades, the first bringing 

 the highest prices. This gradation, however, is not efficient; for 

 some light beans furnish a more pleasing liquor than many dark 

 types. 



Ceylon and India. 



Ceylon Types; 



1. Native — grown in lowlands; beans large, flat, whitish; quality 

 poor. 



2. Plantation — carefully cultivated; beans large, well-developed, 

 regular in size; color light bluish or green tint; quality good. 



3. Liberian-Ceylon — a hybrid of Cojfea liberica Bull; beans 

 smaller and paler then true Cojfea liberica Bull; liquid milder but 

 pleasant. 



4. Ceylon-Mocha — obtained by separation from the plantation 

 type; beans small, very even, and uniform. It resembles genuine 

 Mocha in appearance and flavor. 



Indian Types: 



1. Malabar — Beans small, hard; quality excellent. 



2. Mysore — Beans large; color bluish-green; liquor rich, strong. 



Arabia: — "Mocha," Tehama, Harrar. 



Mocha is merely an exporting town surrounded by deserts, and 

 is not a coffee-growing area. It is not so important to-day from 

 the standpoint of a shipping port, as Aden and Hodeidah. The 

 United States receives its Mocha coffee from Aden. The best 

 Arabian and true Mocha coffee is grown in the province of Yemen. 

 The beans are small, hard, round, regular in size; color olive-green 

 when fresh and a rich semi-transparent yellow when aged; odor, 

 when freshly roasted, is characteristic; quality is the best; liquor 

 creamy, rich, heavy, a trifle acid, extremely aromatic and fragrant. 

 Most Mocha coffee is still raised and prepared under primitive 

 conditions and hence, as it appears on our market, it is no better 

 than the best Brazilian Santos. Tehama Arabian coffee is greatly 

 inferior to Yemen Mocha. Harrar coffee is an Abyssinian coffee. 

 The beans are of the same color as true Mocha, but are longer, more 

 pointed ; and the odor is rank and leathery. It is shipped from Aden 

 as Long-berried Mocha.
