Types of Coffee

Telling one type of coffee from another is part art, part science...and just like tasting wine or chocolate, there's no one right answer. It's all about what YOU like.

This guide will help you learn the difference between the types of coffee you're likely to come across when you visit Scooters Coffeehouse in Shawnee, KS.

* Columbian Supremo - Low levels of acid, rich in body and flavor (Not to be confused with plain old Columbian)
* Brazillian Santo - Bright flavor, Clean Crisp finish
* Costa Rican Tarrazu - Full bodied and sweet with hearty richness and lively acidity



* Mexican High Grown - light bodied, nutty with a chocolate tang and acidic snap
* Panama - Sweet, bright and balanced
* Sumatra - Herbal aroma, full body, low acidity, rich and smooth flavor
* Mokha Java - More acidic and lighter body, quick to finish
* Papua New Guinea - Fruity aroma, earthy body (less full bodied than Sumatra)
* Ethiopian Yirgacheffe - Fruity aroma, light and elegant body, a taste almost like menthol (Southern Ethiopian)
* Kenya AA - Tremendous body, winy acidity, and a black currant flavor
* Jamaican Blue - Nutty aromoa, bright acidity, and a unique beef boullion flavor.
* Hawaiian Kona - Bright and sweet, medium body and flavor
