The ancient Arabica native species can be divided into two major species: Typica in Ethiopia and Bourbon in Yemen.

Tieka: is the oldest native species in Ethiopia, elegant flavor, but weak physique, easy to catch rust leaf disease, the result is small, not in line with economic benefits. The beans are thin and pointed. It's like Lin Daiyu of the coffee world!

Bourbon: juxtaposed with iron pickup as an ancient and excellent variety. It can also distinguish between "round body bourbon" and "pointed body bourbon". The round bourbon is full of vitality, unlike the weak and sickly iron pickup, the round side wave has better resistance to rust leaf disease than the iron pickup, and the flavor is not the same as the iron pickup. The disadvantage is that coffee trees have to rest for a year.

But in fact, Arabica can be subdivided into many subspecies. Just like humans, there are yellow people, white people, black people and brown people. There are differences between different subspecies. For example, white people are on average higher than yellow people, while black people are more explosive than other people. Therefore, among different Arabica subspecies, some have high productivity, some have good disease resistance, and some beans are larger than other beans.

[Bourbon] bourbon species

The second species mutated from Typica is the closest to the original species as Typica at present. It was found in Reunion (formerly Bourbon) near Madagascar. Some coffee experts think that Bourbon is just a natural variant of Typica, nothing special! But in fact, Bourbon has its own characteristics, and Typica also has a high-quality taste, like the sour taste of red wine, sweet aftertaste, can be distinguished from the leaves of coffee trees and beans to distinguish the leaves of Typica and Bourbon,Bourbon are relatively broad, strong coffee cherries are smaller, the generation is more dense, so the appearance of beans relative to Typica is relatively small, more round. In Kenya and Tanzania, new artificial varieties "SL28" and "SL34" appeared when Bourbon progeny was used for artificial mixing, which is famous for its good flavor. Although the seed setting amount of Bourbon is higher than that of Typica, the harvest time is also 2 years, which can be regarded as a variety with low yield.

[Caturra] Kaddura species

Mutant of Bourbon. It was first found in Brazil and began to be planted for commercial use in Minas Gerais, Brazil in 1937. The taste is sour with lemon or citrus taste, but it is not as sweet as Typica and Bourbon in sweetness, because the sweetness of Caturra depends on the number and dosage of fertilizer applied by growers, so it has high production capacity, but continuous fertilization and pruning is necessary to maintain production capacity, so the trees are short and branched. Although production capacity has increased, production is still limited because of the two-year harvest period and the high cost of care.

Take [Qianjie Flower Butterfly] as an example, it contains a variety of Kaddura and Kaddura Kaduai, which is more mellow and with a hint of nutty flavor.

Qianjie cooking parameters are suggested:

V60True 90 ℃ / 1RV 15 / time 2x 390 Ten 20 "

Bouquet: dry aromas with hints of jasmine, soft citrus acid, honey sweetness and black tea on the palate, with nutty flavours.
