How acidic is Liberica compared to Arabica and Robusta? Today, during a discussion on acidity I realized that I could compare the acidity of the two main species. It's common knowledge that Robusta beans are generally more acidic than Arabica beans. But, what about Liberica?

And maybe a follow up question: could we have a picture of general characteristics of Liberica?
Today I had a coffee tasting of Liberica on various roast levels.
I can say that Liberica is totally different from Arabica and Robusta.


Arabica generally is bitter with a lack of after taste
Robusta is generally strong with and lack of after taste
Liberica is less bitter, but full of aftertaste (bitter, coco, sweet and a bit of berry taste)


I would say Robusta lover may not prefer Liberica, but if you found Arabica and Robusta is too bitter, you may love Liberica wich is full of aftertaste flavours if roasted right. A mid range Liberica is comparable to a high grade Arabica.
An Arabica or Robusta blend with Liberica would complete a full coffee flavour.

Liberica is rare because it was almost extinct due to coffee rust disease and it is very expensive due to scarcity.
