Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer by a wide margin, producing approximately 65 million 60-kilogram bags per year, accounting for roughly 37% of global production.
Arabica beans have 44 chromosomes (vs Robusta's 22), lower caffeine content (1.5% vs 2.7%), and are generally considered to have a smoother, more complex flavor. Arabica accounts for 60-70% of world production while Robusta makes up 30-40%.
Kopi Luwak ($100-600/lb) is made from beans eaten and excreted by Asian palm civets. The digestive process is said to alter the flavor profile. Even pricier is Black Ivory coffee from Thailand ($1,000+/lb), which uses elephants instead of civets.
