Iron pickup coffee beans (Typicati) are native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan. It is one of the oldest coffee varieties in Arabica. The top leaves are red copper, known as red top coffee, also known as the old variety of small grain coffee. Now we can see that there are two types of Yunnan coffee beans in Qianjie coffee, which indicates that Yunnan small grains are actually Katim varieties, because at present 99% of Yunnan is grown in Katim. On the other hand, Huaguo Mountain in Yunnan is an old coffee variety in Yunnan, iron pickup coffee beans, and Qianjie coffee has planted iron pickup coffee beans and a small number of bourbon seeds in Yunnan plantations.

Typic: the oldest native variety in Ethiopia, all Arabica are derived from iron pickup coffee beans. The top leaf of the iron pickup is bronzed, and the bean body is oval or thin in shape; the flavor is elegant, but the physique is weak, the disease resistance is poor, and the fruit yield is low. We all know that Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica coffee beans. Of course, the iron pickup comes from this place. Coffee was grown in Yemen around the 7th century AD. These coffee trees are covered with copper tops and produce oval-shaped coffee beans with a flat side. This is the kind of tin card, of course, the tin card is later people named this characteristic of the coffee variety.

Ypica has distinct characteristics, and it may be the most easily identified species. These plants are conical, with main vertical trunks up to 5 meters high. This height means that the distance between branches and nodes on the same branch of Typica is longer than that of other varieties.

The lateral branch forms a 50-70 °angle with the vertical trunk. The trunks and branches are not very strong, the leaves, fruits and beans are usually slender, the bud tips of the young leaves are bronze, and Typica has a smoother leaf surface and fewer wavy boundaries than other Arabica varieties. The typical Typica fruit is bright red when it ripens.

The bronze color of the top leaf of the iron pickup is one of the characteristics, with large beans, pointed oval or thin pointed shape, and some people call it "red top coffee". Iron pickup coffee has its unique quiet and clean flavor, as well as balanced features, high cleanliness, but the only drawback is insufficient production, altitude requirements, at the same time easy to infection with leaf rust, and resistance to diseases and insect pests is not strong. Iron pickup has created a lot of splendor, as early as 1958 at the International Coffee tasting Conference held in London, England, it was rated as the first class; at the National Coffee Conference in 1980, it was also praised as "the crown of Chinese coffee" by Chinese and foreign coffee experts, and won the "Eureka" gold medal at the World Coffee Competition Conference held in Brussels, Belgium in 1993. Typica, which is native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is one of the oldest coffee varieties among Arabica species. Its top leaf is red copper, known as red top coffee, also known as the old small grain coffee. Because of the low yield and the difficulty of cultivation, the price is much higher than the ordinary small-grain coffee. But its taste performance is excellent, it is recognized as a boutique coffee variety.

The common varieties of tin cards are mainly Sumatra iron pickup in Indonesia, blue mountain species in Jamaica, old tree species in Yunnan, and Kent in India. After adapting to the local environment, these tin card species are called by other names by the local people. In essence, the species is still iron pickup.
