There are four varieties of commercially viable coffee: Arabica, Liberica, Excelsa, and Robusta. Growers predominantly plant the Arabica species. Although less popular, Robusta tastes slightly more bitter and contains more caffeine.
PAKEHA
Etymology
Noun
pakeha (plural pakehas or pakeha)
(NZ) A non-Maori, especially a European New Zealander.
Usage notes
• Although widely used in politics and media, the use of "New Zealand European (Pakeha)" in the New Zealand 1996 census provoked a "significant adverse reaction" and the word Pakeha was subsequently removed. Many New Zealanders prefer New Zealand European (formal) or Kiwi (informal).
