| | Typica (iron pickup) |

Ironka is native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan and is one of the oldest coffee varieties among Arabica species. The top leaf of the iron pickup plant is red and copper, so it is also called red top coffee. Most of the Arabica coffee varieties we see today are derived from iron pickups.

Bourbon is a natural variety of iron pickup, and the biggest change in its coffee beans is that it has changed from a long body to a round body. Bourbon coffee was originally grown on the Brazilian island of Reunion, which was also known as le Bourbon before 1789, so the coffee variety was also named bourbon. Bourbon coffee beans short round, thick beans, with a smooth taste and sweet obvious flavor characteristics.

| | Geisha |

Rosa comes from the forests of Ethiopia. Compared with other varieties, the biggest characteristic of Rosa coffee is that its yield is very low, and its shape is characterized by long branch nodes, long distance between nodes, less flowering and less fruit. Rosa coffee beans are slender in shape, with pointed beans at both ends and fat and plump in the middle.

If you want Rose Summer Coffee to have exquisite floral and citrus flavor characteristics, the temperature in the planting area should not be too low to cause frost, the planting altitude should be high enough, and the temperature difference between day and night should be large enough to allow Rosa Coffee trees enough time to accumulate nutrients.

| | Kaddura (Caturra) |

Kaddura is a natural variety of bourbon. Kaddura plant branches are very close apart, the fruit size is smaller than bourbon, which makes the same space to produce more fruit, coffee fruit yield will be greatly increased. Kaddura coffee beans are round and long, with curved ends, bright and clean taste and obvious sweet flavor.

| | Catuai |

Kaduai is an artificially bred hybrid between Kaddura and New World. Kaduai inherits the attributes of high yield, strong disease resistance and good cup-tested varieties in the New World, and inherits the attributes of Kaddura's small size, high-quality sour and exposed coffee. Because the plant is small, it can be planted at twice the density. Kaduai coffee beans are oval and flat, with slender ends, soft acidity, clean taste and rich fruit aromas.

During the period from 1935 to 1939, Scott's laboratory used SL as a prefix for selected coffee varieties. Forty-two varieties from different producing areas were selected in the laboratory, and their yield, quality, drought resistance and disease resistance were studied. After numbering and screening one by one, SL-28 and SL-34 were finally obtained.

(SL28)

SL34 comes from the iron pickup gene group, the bean shape is oval, it is not as plump as the tin card variety from the side, it will appear relatively flat, and it has the flavor characteristics of sweet and sour balance and caramel aftertaste.

| | Ethiopian original species (Heirloom) |

Most Ethiopian varieties are named after this name, in fact, because there are so many Ethiopian varieties, it is like the natural gene bank of Arabica, on the one hand, there are many varieties, and it is difficult to identify and classify them. On the one hand, the Ethiopian government is unwilling to disclose the information of these varieties for the sake of protection, so it is collectively called Ethiopian native species.

Because there are so many varieties, so mixed planting, mixed harvest, so Ethiopian native varieties of beans will be of different sizes. Most of the coffee beans of this variety show the flavor characteristics of flower and fruit and citrus acid.
