Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

This coffee is Colombia National Coffee Research Center (Cenicaf é).

A new hybrid with Robusta gene was released in 2005.

It's Robusta! Orz

I don't know what Robusta is. All in all, it is a coffee variety with half less caffeine than Arabica (A44-> R22). It is generally characterized by twice as much caffeine, less lipids and sugars, and strong disease resistance. Drinking this Pour over directly makes you tremble like a rapper-yo)

Cenicaf é schedule: Ref

1962 introduction of Timor (found in Timor island, Robusta and Arabica hybrids, a variety with both Robusta disease resistance and Arabica good flavor)

Arabica x Robusta-> Timor

1968 Catimor was bred (Timor crossed with another popular Arabica variety Caturra to obtain a new variety Catimor with high yield and disease resistance)

Caturra x Timor-> Catimor

1982 after five generations of selection, a new variety Colombia cultivar was launched.

Catimor-> Colombia cultivar

1983 with the outbreak of the serious disease coffee leaf rust, Colombia cultivar has gradually replaced traditional and popular varieties such as Caturra.

2002 launch of new generation hybrids-> Tabi

2005 launch of a new generation hybrid-> Castillo (better than the previous ones in disease resistance, yield, and cup test)

Although compared with this new variety, many people still prefer / get used to the old one.

But with the outbreak of 2008 coffee leaf rust again. Under the promotion of the government, Castillo has gradually become the main planting variety!

It is like a war between light and darkness, with one side escalating and the other improving its coping strategy. The endless cycle

Think about how many agronomists are working silently behind it! T ^ TB respect)

But this is not good news for many people.

Take a look at this list, from Timor, Tabi, Colombia, to Castillo (and actually Arabusta)

As long as the beans that have been mixed with Robusta are miserable every time they try.

Tabi is supposed to be 2012 in Star lounge, Timo is 2013

As long as the heart beats and the body trembles. Nine times out of ten, that's what I drank.
