Typica iron pickup truck

Typica is one of the oldest native varieties in Ethiopia. Tibica's top leaves are bronzed and the beans are oval or thin in shape; elegant flavor, but weak physique, poor disease resistance and low fruit yield.

Typica is one of the oldest varieties of Arabica coffee discovered today, and the other is called bourbon. The Arabica species originated in Ethiopia, where it still grows naturally today in the highlands of the pristine rainforest. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the tree was brought to Yemen, and around 1700, iron pickups were planted in Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam for breeding. The Ironpickup saplings are the first saplings brought from the Dutch royal garden to Central and South America and the New World to be planted. Iron pickup is a pure precious tree species with oval fruit shape, brass leaves and varied fruit flavor.

The iron card species is one of the oldest Arabica tree species and has derived many other variants. The Ironpika bean is slender, the tree is tall, the fruit is oval, and the branches are slightly inclined. The four iron pickups are slender and open, tilting at an angle of 50 to 70 degrees. The coffee yield of each tree is very low, but the cup test score is very high.

Formerly known as Arabica Iron pickup, the Scottish regiment brought the tree to Kenya from Yemen and planted it with bronze leaves. The Hawaiian tin card was introduced from Guatemala and renamed Kona with a brass leaf tip. Due to geographical reasons, the iron pickups planted on other coffee belts in the world are different. Iron pickups have been genetically evolved, and many variants are more adaptable to the surrounding environment and produce new characteristics, which are usually considered to be new varieties, such as Typica in Mexico is slightly different from Typica in Hawaii, so they have different names: Criollo (South America), Arabigo (America), Kona (Hawaii), Pluma Hidalgo (Mexico). Garundang (Sumatra), Blue Mountain (Yomaiga, Papua New Guinea) Signoro Bernado & San Ram ó n (Brazil), Kent and Chickumalgu (India).

The leaf tip of the iron pickup species has a feature, which is red copper, which is called red top coffee. Coffee tree opposite leaves are long oval, smooth leaves, the end of the branch is very long, few branches, and the flowers are white, open at the base of the petiole connecting the branch. The ripe coffee berries look like cherries and are bright red with sweet flesh and contain a pair of seeds, namely coffee beans (Coffee Beans).

Iron pickup is the first coffee variety grown in the new world. The iron pickup planted in Java was a Dutch gift to Father Louis XIV of France and survived in Persian gardens. The seeds were brought to French Martinique by the French in 1720.

Iron pickup is the ancestor of many coffee derivatives. Like other Arabica tree species, the iron pickup fruit is oval, the branches are slightly inclined, the tin card tree is 3.5 to 4 meters high, and the branch inclination is 50 to 70 degrees. The yield of the iron pickup is very low, but the cup test quality is very high.
