The origin of coffee beans in Asia:

Indonesia (Indonesia) famous representative coffee: Java (Java), Sumatra Manning (Sumatra Mandheling)

Indonesia produces coffee beans mainly in Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and other three islands, all of which belong to volcanic topography. It is generally believed that Indonesian coffee beans have a strong aroma and low acidity, with a slight taste of traditional Chinese medicine and soil. Mandheling, produced in the mountains of Sumatra, is world-famous and rich in texture. Robusta beans from Java have a unique smell and are often used as a recipe for espresso because they are rich in oil. The coffee produced by Sulawesi is rated as having a special herbal flavor, deep and clean. In particular, there is a special animal called the civet in the mountains of Indonesia (it has also appeared in Taiwan, and it is currently listed as one of the representative animals of Yangmingshan). Because it makes Indonesia produce a kind of coffee that is almost the most expensive in the world-civet coffee. This kind of cat likes to eat coffee berries, and hard coffee beans are eventually excreted because they are indigestible. During the period of passing through the digestive tract, coffee beans are fermented to produce a unique and complex flavor, which makes many gluttons like this kind of coffee with special aroma. But because the output is very small, so the price is very high, in the hundreds of dollars per pound.

India (India) well-known coffee: monsoon Malaba (Monsooned Malabar)

India is a country that mainly drinks tea, but its coffee production ranks first in the world, and it has both Robusta and Arabica. It is also one of several countries that have both water washing and sun treatment. Indian coffee is grown mainly in the areas from the Western Gaozhi Mountains in southern India to the Arabian Sea, with coffee sold under the names of Maiso and Malaba. Monsoon Malaba is a unique kind of coffee in India. Because of the coffee beans exported from the coast of Malaba to Europe at that time, the appearance and taste of the raw beans were changed after being hit by the sea breeze for a long time. And become a taste that Europeans are accustomed to and like. This later became a special method of handling coffee beans, which were especially placed in the wet monsoon for a few months after harvest, so that they turned yellow and white and reduced acidity, that is, the monsoon Monsooned Malabar we bought.

Vietnam (Vietnam) well-known representative coffee: Vietnamese coffee

Vietnam is also one of the top coffee producers in the world. At present, the vast majority of coffee trees in Vietnam are Robusta, because the Arabica coffee trees in Vietnam were destroyed by leaf rust in the mid-19th century and replaced with Robusta coffee trees that are resistant to leaf rust. Robusta coffee beans have a unique aroma and bitter taste, and their caffeine content is higher than that of Arabica. Also because the higher proportion of extraction is related to you, it is often used to make instant coffee, canned coffee, or mixed with three-in-one coffee and so on. In recent years, India has also begun to plant coffee trees in Arabica, more committed to the cause of coffee production, but there has been no development in the boutique coffee market. The Vietnamese coffee we often hear in our conversation sometimes refers to the cooking of ice droplets, which is different from the kinds of coffee beans mentioned here, so don't be confused.

Coffee bean producing areas in Africa:

Yemen (Yemen) well-known representative coffee: Mokamatari (Mocha Mattari)

In the early days, Yemeni coffee was mainly exported from the port of Mocha, so the coffee exported from here later took Mocha as its name. In Yemeni coffee, Mattari and Sanani are more famous, of which Matari tastes full-bodied, with strong acidity and cocoa flavor, while Sanani has a more balanced taste and aroma. The coffee beans produced in Yemen belong to Arabica. Generally speaking, mocha beans are smaller than ordinary coffee beans and look very different from other coffee beans with large particles. However, although small, it contains distinct features, especially the distinct fruit acid is often used as a flavor enhancement role in mixed coffee, no wonder it is compared to the red wine in coffee, the aroma and sour taste are particularly aftertaste. The name Mocha can be written in several ways, "Mocca", "Mocha", "Moka", "Mokha". Wait, but they all mean the same thing. Mocha beans are especially obvious in deep roasting because of their unique chocolate flavor, so there is a fancy coffee flavored with chocolate sauce and named after mocha coffee.

Ethiopia famous representative coffee: Mocha Harra, Yirgacheffe

Across the Red Sea and opposite Yemen, Ethiopia is the first place in the world to find coffee trees in Arabica. Coffee is grown almost everywhere in the country. Among them, the eastern Highland Hara (Harra) produces the famous Haramoka, which has a special wine aroma and acidity, which is equivalent to the Yemeni mocha and is a high-quality coffee. Sidamo and Djimmah in the south are also well-known coffee producers, and the coffee produced is slightly different from that produced by Hara, with a refreshing sour taste and drupe aromas. In Sidamo, there is a community domain name called Yirgacheffe, whose coffee has very charming features, with the aroma of jasmine and lemon, and the special taste as sweet as honey, so it is famous all over the world. Why is the port of Mocha in the country of Yemen, but the coffee from Ethiopia is also called Mocha? That's because Ethiopian coffee was previously exported from the Yemeni port of Mocha, so it is also named after mocha and subdivided by different names of origin, such as Mokhara, Mokajima and so on. So it's the same mocha coffee, it could be from Yemen or it could be from Ethiopia.

Ivory Coast (Cote dancers / Ivory Coast) well-known representative coffee: none

C ô te d'Ivoire is a country in West Africa, next to Guinea and Liberia. C ô te d'Ivoire is a name translated from French, but it is C ô te d'Ivoire if it is literally translated by pronunciation. Under French rule, coffee, along with cocoa and palms, was grown heavily on the coast to stimulate exports, and by the 1960s coffee production had increased to make C ô te d'Ivoire the third largest coffee exporter after Brazil and Colombia. However, in recent years, due to the impact of climate, economy, aging and reduced production of coffee trees, its coffee production has not been prosperous in the past. Since C ô te d'Ivoire is also a major producer of coffee in Africa, why are we not familiar with Ivorian coffee? This is because Ivorian coffee is almost entirely robusta, with only a few experimental Arabica coffees. As mentioned earlier, because of its special taste and characteristics, Robusta coffee is mostly used for purposes such as mixed instant coffee or canned coffee, and is rarely consumed directly in the form of fine coffee. Therefore, it does not often appear in the coffee-producing countries that we often mention.

Kenya (Kenya) well-known representative coffee: Kenya AA

Kenya is located in East Africa, right on the equator, with the Indian Ocean to the east, Ethiopia to the north and Tanzania to the south.

Tanzania is also located in eastern Africa, to the south of Kenya and to the east of the Indian Ocean, with a coastline as long as 1500 kilometers. Coffee is not the most important agriculture in Tanzania, mostly small-scale operations, the rest still export corn, cotton and other major agricultural products. Most of the coffee is grown on the slopes of the Kilimanjaro volcano in northern Tanzania, near Kenya. About 70% of the coffee is Arabica, which is treated by washing, while the remaining 30% of Robusta are treated by the sun. The Creamanjaro coffee produced here is generally highly acidic, but slightly weaker than that of Kenya, and its taste is similar to that of Kenya, with a rich texture and a strong sweet aroma.

Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe) famous representative coffee: Zimbabwe

Coffee was only grown in Zimbabwe at the beginning of the 20th century, mainly in the eastern plateau, which is treated by washing. Zimbabwe's coffee is similar to Kenya with strong acidity and fruity aroma, but unlike Kenya, it has a pepper-like flavor. The best coffee comes from Chipinge.

Malawi (Malawi) well-known representative coffee: Malawi

Malawi is a small country in southeastern Africa and a landlocked country not near the sea. most of its coffee is grown in the northern plateau, but the yield is not large. But although it is not near the sea, it can be seen on the map that there is a very large lake in the northeast. It is Lake Malawi, which is also the natural boundary between Malawi and its neighboring countries. Compared with Kenya, Malawian coffee also has considerable sweetness and aroma, while the sour taste is lower in another style. If the sour sound of Kenya is compared to the sour sound of Kenya, the sour sound of Malawi feels like the bass and mid-bass. The coffee grown in Malawi is Arabica and is treated by washing. It is the country's ninth largest export, accounting for only about 5% of the country's total exports. However, in particular, although the export volume is very limited, the mode of production and marketing of its coffee is for local people to set up their own production and marketing companies to be responsible for the production, processing and sale of coffee, rather than the distribution of coffee led by the government in Kenya. In this independent mode of operation, the quality of coffee in Malawi has been maintained at a considerable level, so it is also one of the most popular coffee for traders.

Central America:

Guatemala (Guatemala) famous representative coffee: Antigua (Antigua), Vivette Nango (Huehuetenango)

The latitude of Guatemala is about 15 degrees, bordering the Pacific Ocean on the left and the Caribbean Sea on the right. The Sierra Mountains on this side of the Pacific Ocean are the main coffee-growing areas in Guatemala. Because the mountains are very long and the regional climate changes greatly, it has created the seven major coffee producing areas of the country, each with different flavors and characteristics. Among them, the coffee from Antigua is famous in the world because of its slightly sour, rich glycol and slightly volcanic charcoal flavor. The coffee of Guatemala belongs to Arabica, which is treated with water. In the far northwest, there is a piece of Huehuetenango highland. Because it is higher than 5000 feet above sea level, the coffee produced has the characteristics of hard texture, strong acidity and rich taste of high altitude coffee. It is also one of the most distinctive coffee in Guatemala.

Like other Central American countries, coffee from Arabica is widely grown in Costa Rica. Its coffee is mainly grown in two high areas, one is the high area near the capital San Jose, and the other is the Tarrazu mountains southeast of San Jose. Because it is also grown at high altitude, Costa Rican coffee also has a strong sour taste, and because the mountain temperature is lower, coffee trees grow more slowly, with a more complex and not monotonous taste. The coffee produced in Tarasu is also one of the coffee tasters' favorite because of its special flavor of fruit and some chocolate or stone fruit.

However, high-quality Nicaraguan beans such as Maragogipe (a tree with very large coffee beans called elephant beans) think highly of it because it tastes more balanced and does not have the distinct acidity of other Central American coffee, but has a clear taste and excellent aroma. This round and soft texture also makes it a unique show in the mediocre evaluation of Guatemalan coffee and is loved by many people.

Honduras (Honduras) famous representative coffee: Honduras

Honduran coffee seems strange to many coffee drinkers. For coffee production, the geographical conditions of Honduras are no less than those of its neighboring coffee-producing countries such as Guatemala and Nicaragua. However, in the past, Honduras was less well-known in the consumer market because it did not have strong support in the handling and transportation of raw beans. However, in recent years, Hongguo has begun to change dramatically, and the emphasis on the coffee industry in Honduras has slowly opened up the international popularity of Honduran coffee. There are six main coffee producing areas in Honduras, including Santa Barbara, Copan, Ocotepeque, Lempira, La Paz, and El Paraiso in the southeast, which are adjacent to each other in the west. Honduran coffee tastes less acidic, while caramel is more sweet. The taste of coffee from these five different producing areas is also slightly different, some slightly sour, some have a unique flavor. At present, its quality is not poor, but because it is still promoting its popularity, Hongguo's coffee prices are actually quite competitive at present. Because of its flavor characteristics, it is a good choice to make a single product or add comprehensive coffee, or even one of the beans with Espresso ingredients.

However, Panamanian coffee has always been in the middle and low price level in the consumer market, which may not have a distinctive relationship. However, in recent years, Panama has also actively promoted the cause of boutique coffee and sold its high-quality coffee beans at competitive auctions, so Panamanian coffee has gradually attracted the attention of the world again. Good Panamanian beans are considered by coffee connoisseurs to be one of the excellent coffee with their clean, clear, bright and gentle taste and medium mellow performance.

El Salvador (El Salvador) well-known representative coffee: El Salvador

Ecuador faces the Pacific Ocean, and near the equator, about 900km west of longitude 90 degrees, Ecuador is also dependent on the Galapagos Island Islands, also known as Cologne, which produces the well-known Galapagos coffee. In order to protect the natural ecology, the Ecuadorian government has designated the archipelago as a national park and banned the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals, so coffee in the Galapagos Islands is recognized as organic coffee.
