The latest knowledge arrangement of raw coffee beans: the classification and naming rules of coffee beans

Coffee beans are divided into two families, ── Arabica and Kanefra.

First of all, the two major families of coffee beans, the ── Arabica (Arabica) family and the Canephora family, are introduced. Canefra is generally known as Robusta, but Robusta is actually only a branch of Kanefra, because it is widely known, so it has become synonymous with Kanefra. If Arabica was born aristocratic, Kanefra came from the countryside. Why would you say that?

Is the coffee you drink first class or economy class? ── Arabica and Kanefra _ (3), two families that know coffee beans.

Arabica is rather delicate and lives in a mountain between 600 ∼ and 2200 meters above sea level. It has high requirements for soil and light. Do not go where the soil is not fertile, and the sunshine is not long enough to grow. In addition, their growth cycle is also very slow, and it takes nearly five years to harvest, just like studying dentistry. Moreover, their resistance to diseases and insect pests is poor, and they need meticulous care from the "housekeeper" all the time.

On the other hand, Kanefra is more than a civilian, like a migrant worker. When Arabica suffered a serious illness, Kanefra remained at the forefront of "work". They live below 800 meters above sea level, have a strong ability to resist diseases and insect pests, do not have high requirements for the environment, and do not need so many people to take good care of them. That is, the "education" is not very good, and it will be harvested about two years after sowing.

Although Arabica is delicate and difficult to serve, it tastes quite good, and most boutique coffee belongs to this kind of beans; on the contrary, Kanefra is well taken care of, but the taste is slightly mediocre and the taste is not much different, so it is mostly used to make instant coffee.
