What is the difference between Arabica coffee beans and Roberta coffee beans in an immature market? It has nothing to do with botany, it has nothing to do with boutique coffee, or even whether we drink a cup of pure Arabica boutique coffee, this is a business-led world.

Yesterday, a fan left a message that on a treasure, all the Katim of Baoshan was sold with a tin pickup truck. Katim, including Katim 7963 and P4 varieties, is the main variety composition of Yunnan coffee. Generally, Yunnan small grain coffee does not clearly specify which variety, basically can be understood as Katim.

Here is a very important point to share: although we insist that Arabica is almost synonymous with fine coffee, in reality, whether you like it or not, some merchants sell Robusta as part of fine coffee.

In many books, it is mentioned that the flavor of Asian boutique coffee is woody and herbal flavor. in fact, this refers to the taste spectrum of Luodou hybrid, when you carefully test the variety, altitude, treatment of tin card, bourbon, the above description is not accurate.

As we all know, in the 1970s, the coffee industry faced the impact of rust, and the global coffee industry encountered a cold winter. this is only for Arabica growers, for Robusta, it is only the beginning of spring, and this is the time when China needs to vigorously develop its foreign economy and provide raw materials for foreign countries, Nestl é in order to produce their instant coffee raw materials. Vigorously promote the development of China's coffee industry. Because Robusta is a great discovery, through the hybridization of medium and small seeds, Robusta can acquire the immunity of Luodou to iron rust in a high temperature and humidity environment, and without high growth requirements. The yield is more than double that of Arabica, and farmers are more willing to plant Robusta with higher returns, reaching the price of 40 yuan a kilogram at one point a few years ago.

In the following period, with the recovery of world coffee production, the prices of integrated goods (varieties used as raw materials such as Robusta and its hybrids) plummeted, and the boutique coffee market rose for many years. However, Yunnan, which has never planted Arabica varieties in large quantities, has become a blank in this competition, so how to label the existing Yunnan small-grain coffee as fine coffee and sell it at a higher price has become an urgent task in this wave. If you really replant Arabica varieties, it will take many years for the cup to produce good results and finally form a regional flavor spectrum, so no one chooses this path, and farmers will never cut down trees. Wait for the trees to grow up and blossom and bear fruit. The tree planted cannot change its species or its geographical height, so it comes up with the less important factor of changing the way it is handled. The experiment shows that when the varieties are at the same altitude, different treatments bring about emphasis on the main flavor, removal of miscellaneous flavor, or a sense of fermentation. The treatment method can not change the composition of a bean, but the composition affects the flavor of coffee beans, and the good flavor is directly related to the variety and fruit maturity.

No one is willing to bear the cost of time, so there is a current situation of Yunnan coffee, which does not emphasize varieties and focuses on guiding processing techniques. Historical experience tells us that this method of laziness works and is widely accepted by the market. Every year during the coffee season, a large number of coffee industry people go to the mountains of Yunnan to take Katim to the city with eyebrows and beards to let the guests seriously evaluate. Even some official institutions or professional practitioners, they recommended all Yunnan boutique beans, all Katim and excluded iron pickup, bourbon and so on from the list, because they really couldn't find 100% Arabica small coffee beans for the market to choose from. These activities are usually involved by practitioners with long experience in the boutique coffee industry and coffee reviewers who claim to be professional. Although they knew exactly what boutique coffee was, it did not hinder the performance of the emperor's new clothes. Why is this the case in reality? there is only one answer, this, or just a business.

Turn water wash kadim into red cherry honey to treat kadim, the bidding price can go up a little bit, as long as the immature market can have this degree of acceptance, is actually a product that blindly caters to the market. To take a simple example, the quality of hybrid beans is not as good as Arabica beans (this conclusion can be seen in some professional academic reports on coffee in recent years), so it is not realistic for you to raise the price when the quality is not as good as Arabica. At the same time, because the addition of "processing secret technology" drives up the price, there is no price advantage as a matching bean.

The decline in the price of coffee in Yunnan in recent months amid high quality has already illustrated this problem. It was originally the nature of raw materials, followed by the international futures price, which is the essence. If it is still stressed that it has indeed scored high marks in various domestic activities, according to the inquiry on the official website of CQI that issues Q-Grader certificates, the Chinese mainland region ranks 857out of the world's 5842 Qs, while there were only two Chinese boutique coffee ratings submitted to CQI in 17 and 18, which were 81.17 and 62.67 respectively.

Of course, the difficult road of our boutique coffee always needs some people to explore, for the industry and coffee people, it does not matter whether the Yunnan small grain coffee is a pure 100% Arabica boutique coffee. Whether Robusta can become one of the boutique coffee is not particularly important. In the future, perhaps the market will widely accept Robusta as the existence of boutique beans.
