What are the variations of coffee and how many are there?!
P.S. I'm not talking about types like cappuccino or espresso, I'm talking about the actual plant varieties, like Bourbon or Caturra.
Thanks in advance!

Robusta varieties:
While not separate varieties of bean, unusual and very expensive robustas are the Indonesian Kopi Luwak and the Philippine "Kape Alamid". The beans are collected from the droppings of the Common Palm Civet, whose digestive processes give it a distinctive flavor.
Other varieties:
Although not as popular as Arabica or Robusta, other varieties of coffee also exist. these include Kape Barako or Kape Baraco, (English: Barako coffee), a Liberica variety grown in the Philippines, particularly in the provinces of Batangas and Cavite.
The main variations are mild, medium, and dark.
